It's My Party And I'll Cry If I Want to...

 
Several days before Claire's birthday party I got this song stuck in my head and she thought it was a stupid song because why would anyone cry at their party.  We should have knocked on wood.
 
Right as her friends were arriving Claire managed to severely sprain her toe.  The poor girl spent the first part of the party crying on my lap.  It was so sad.  We pretty much had to carry her everywhere she went for the rest of the party.

She still was pretty sad when we ate pizza.


A new bout of tears started when she saw her birthday cake...or what was left of it.  FYI...keep the little two year old brother away from the birthday cake.  When he couldn't get the cake carrier open he turned it to one side, then the next, tried opening it upside down, and when that didn't work he tried to shake it open.   The fact that all we could do was laugh at what had happened didn't help with the tears.  She wanted him to be in big trouble.
 
Daddy to the rescue with birthday cake #2.  Thank goodness the grocery store was a block away.
 
 

Luckily the presents officially cheered up the birthday girl.
 
 
This will definitely be one memorable birthday party.
