E's Birthday Celebration

Main Ingredients:
Birthday Cupcakes:
Trader Joe's Vanilla Cake Mix (our favourite!) and milk chocolate frosting
Our loud rendition of "Happy Birthday",
sung really fast because the birthday girl couldn't wait to stick her fingers into the frosting

Talking to Kong-kong and Ah-Ma in Singapore, who had a birthday cake and candles all lit up, and who sung the birthday song for E. Birthday wishes from Grandma and Grandpa also came over Skype. The wonders of technology.

Birthday Presents:

Little Doctor's Kit,
purchased from Granville Island
(We continue to reap the rewards of our visit to Vancouver.)
E finally has her own lap-top, Diego-themed, no less. In this picture, J has commandeered it, claiming to "like Diego very much", when usually he protests my turning it on for E to watch, complaining that "Diego is so boring". This is how a new toy can change the tune you sing.

Birthday Balloons,
which we got from a shop selling party supplies. Possibly our best buy, seeing as how both kids were playing with, and fighting over, them (even though we had gotten four!) practically the whole day.
What is it with children and balloons?
