Party Party Party! I’ve been looking forward to this day for about a year now. In fact I’ve been looking forward to this party for as long as I can remember. Preparation for the party began a few days ago when Mom started putting together a dynamite cake. My party was themed after the Hungry Caterpillar. So she not only made a big white cake with lemon filling encased in butter cream frosting, but also a pile of butter cream frosted cupcakes complete with a chewy ganache in the middle.

With a pom pom caterpillar hanging from the ceiling and a smattering of helium balloons the scene was set. We had a great turnout with cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, great grandparents, and friends.

My folks tried to get me to wear one of these cone hats they keep calling party hats, but I’m not so sure about them.
Wearing my “Party Hat”
What is this thing?
We had a nice lunch of sloppy joes, fruit, rotini salad, chips, and veggies before cracking into the presents. I am a very fortunate girl. I am so lucky to have so many people that love me. I received so many nice things from so many different people. I got a nice mix of toys and clothes. I can’t wait hit the town in my new threads.

After presents it was time for cake. Let me tell you that this was delicious. Mom sure knows how to make a tasty treat. After a little happy birthday singing, I was a little hesitant at first just to make sure this new taste sensation dubbed “cupcake” didn’t taste like peas. Once I took a little nibble I realized that I am a fan of cake.

After the party died down and the guests had headed home to take their respective naps, I grabbed a few balloons and took a little walk out on the deck.

Happy Girl!
