We celebrated the new year early tonight since Bug goes to bed at 7:30 and K was tired after a long day. Not that I'd stay up till midnight.
Before K got home, I asked Bug if she wanted to make something. Cookies? A cake? Her face lit up. "A birthday cake! With candles!" Um, ok. It is the birth of a new year, right?
The decision was to put six candles on the cake. On the side we had sparkling cider, party blowers and Dora plates. We had matching Red Robin cups to drink from.
It took Bug some time to figure out the party blowers. She kept biting into them, cutting off the air flow. She was tenacious about learning, though, and when she did figure it out consistently (after getting completely spazzed out on sugar), she chased K and me around the house, "getting us" with it and giggling maniacally.
Thar she blows!
Yeehaw!
Happy 2006!
