Ah yeah!

Despite battling a GI bug that just wouldn't quit - Little Brother rallied for his birthday celebration.  We kept it small, i.e. to those who had broken quarantine and, thusly, had already been exposed to the two cuddly little vectors.  

At his request, cake - NOT CUPCAKES - "every time we go to a party we never get cake, only cupcakes."  Admittedly he was a little disappointed that it wasn't a double layered cake dripping with frosting on all sides...but we were taking a serious risk - after the last two weeks our plastic grocery bag stock was dangerously low - and its' time for cake?!?!  We held our breath and all turned out A-OK.  

Little Brother and Big Sis decorated the cake themselves - they each picked two bottles of sprinkles and had at it - red sugar crystals, chocolate sprinkels, snowflakes, pink sugar crystals - it was a rainbow of sugary goodness - that for some miraculous reason was digested without incident!

Every gift was celebrated in awesome 4 year old fashion - with six year old supportive drama - it was a bright day in a rather bleak two week block.
