Birthday Celebration (part 2)

Alena's all ready for the cupcakes!Singing, "Happy Birthday" with Noi singing via the telephone. I had to hold her hand to keep her from touching the candle.
I really thought she'd be all into eating the cupcake after the already mentioned Kit-Kat incident and she is usually a messy eater. She wasn't crazy about the cake, though and mostly just ate the icing which made clean up a lot easier.
This is about the only shot of Alena opening presents by herself. She had several willing helpers (ie Gabe and Mya) who were much more excited about everything than she was.
After all the celebrating was over, everyone was ready for a good book and off to bed. Good thing birthdays only come around once a year - I don't think we could stand any more excitement.

Love the pics of the cousins, though I don't think you'll ever have anyone mix them up.

I think it's funny that RA and Mya choose "I'm a big brother" as their bed time story :-) Thanks for having us. We had lots of fun...and RA learned all kinds of new things. Today she not only spilled her water all over the floor, but after she realized what she had done she started stomping the mess with her foot to splatter it... wonder where she got that??? :-)
