Before I get to the b-day, let me remind you that we went to Toronto for the weekend and had a great time, stories and pictures to follow when typing is easier....
Now, for the birthday.... this was only a small dinner for my parents and brother, with the big party coming next Sunday, when all cousins are available to celebrate.
As mentioned, part of my finger was chopped off during the kitchen assembly. I went to the clinic this morning and came home looking like this: 
Turns out, I should have gotten stitches, but since I wanted to finish assembling the play-kitchen and make dinner, I waited til this morning to get medical attention. Should all work out, must get dressing changed in a dew days.
Meanwhile, in case you didn't know, she turned Doo, her Fren-glish attempt at combining Deux and Two! 
And to mark the occasion, mommy attempted to make the M.S.Kids Monkey cake.... and a pretty party hat! 
Yay, I'm glad you're happy in your new location! I enjoy you, so I'm gonna keep on reading!

SOOOOOO Cute! All of it except your finger. I gave myself the mother of all paper cuts last night, must have been in sympathy. The cake is awesome and I hope she loves being "Doo"!

Ooh, that finger looks like it must be very icky under that bandage. I can't believe how long the Dumpling's hair has grow. She looks like such a big girl now!
