was a smashing success, with plenty of food, family and loot. And cake!
Dinner was interrupted by the Horned SpongeMonster (a.k.a. Cousin Abby); Britt responded by flipping her off:
Always happy to be the center of attention:
She's been to enough of her cousins' birthday parties by now to know the drill, so she blew out the candle right on cue:
Yay! Cake!
And then she showed her daddy how to use her new laptop:
Yep, Britt has a laptop now and I don't. That is just wrong.
There were only two things that didn't go as planned. When we ordered our 1/2 sheet cake, the stupid cake people didn't bother to mention that the SpongeBob decorations were sized for a 1/4 sheet cake, so I was pissed when I went to pick it up. It looked ridiculous (see cake photo above), but it was too late to do anything about it.
And then, after all the other gifts were opened, we brought out the grand finale: Britt's new super-duper deluxe play kitchen! And guess what?
When we opened the box, the accessories were missing. So were the decorative stickers. And the frickin' cabinet doors! Gaaah! Mikey took it back to the store last night and got a refund because they didn't have another one in stock. We'll try to find a replacement for it sometime this week.
Anyway, I'm glad it's over and that I was able to rest today because tomorrow is Britt's two-year checkup. She raises hell every time we go the doctor's office because those people stick needles in her legs, so I'm not looking forward to it. Not at all.
