The Big Birthday, Part Two - Cake and Presents

After the Pinata we came inside to eat Birthday cake and open Maggie's presents. She had a ton of them! Beatrice helped.

Obie surveyed the carnage with an air of disenchantment.

I'm not sure why John was being wacky. He's a great little boy and I'm glad we had a reason to have him over.
For her cake this year Mags requested five green cats singing under a rainbow with clouds on both ends. Where does she come up with this stuff? Grandma dutifully made a cake that fit the bill! We enjoyed it with Oreo cookie ice cream! Obie didn't get any this time, though.

Maggie was very happy with all of her gifts. The light-up unicorn has been much flaunted in front of and therefore coveted by Beatrice, the alphabet stickers have been stuck all over the house, the clothes have been mostly ignored, the Littlest Pet Shop house has been nicely shared, and the paintable dishes have been thoroughly examined and are asked about everyday. Can I paint them yet?? No, not today, honey. (We'll paint them next week while Daddy's away at a conference - stay tuned for the results!)

And of course Mr. Silky was there, too - the best birthday pet ever, in my opinion!
