"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Lame

As far as E's birthday party post goes... this is pretty lame.  Not only is it very behind schedule, but I also failed to take any useful pictures.  Something about 12 little six-year-olds blew it right out of my mind.  So, if you want to see my decorated house - with streamers, since a tall friend happened by at a very useful time - you are out of luck.

I did take a few pictures of the cake:



Since two years ago E's purple cake turned out brown, and last year I only made her cinnamon rolls... this rainbow cake was a big improvement.  Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of it frosted with the cool candles I couldn't help but buy.


Here's all the kids eating cake and ice-cream... oh wait, just cake.  Yes, Justin and I chickened out on the ice-cream because we were running out of time anyway.  I also left the juice in the fridge and claimed I "only had water."  I ought to be jailed for party ruination.



Did I take pictures of E opening her presents?  Or any picture of E other than this one?  Nope.  Talent, I tell you, talent.

This cake looks like the food in the "fake" food fight in the version of Peter Pan with Robin Williams..."Hook!"

This is your and Justin's long-lost friend Larissa, by the way! I hope the blog stalking isn't too weird (saw a link on Justin's facebook), but I am so happy to see your beautiful family!
