We held Annie’s birthday party today — well over a month before her actual birthday since we’ve discovered that it is hard to get ahold of her friends for anything outside of the school year. It was a relatively small affair this year: a sleepover with three young friends invited (only one of whom ended up staying the night).

Cake was courtesy of Dufflet Pastry, from a gift certificate Annie won in a contest earlier in the year. Vanilla cake with chocolate icing – yum!

It was a rainy day all day, and having promised the kids attending that they could expect to go in Annie’s jumping castle, we actually managed to set the thing up in the living room. All possible breakables were moved away, and everything worked as expected, Annie’s friends working off their sugar intake a bit in the process.

That’s how old I am today: 43. My daughters made me some chocolate brownie cupcakes for my birthday, and here’s the one they put the candle in:

I figure it is time to start blogging again. Have changed the layout to better accommodate the pictures I intend to post. The layout is basic (and ugly as sin) but will change that over time.
