Pressure.

When will I learn?

What will it do before I figure out that my daughter does not enjoy big crowds of people all focused on her?

Please do not let me forget, because the party was half of a disaster. There was a lot of crying, including the moment I turned the corner with candles lit, and everyone started to sing "Happy Birthday to you..."

WAAAAAH!!!

Not good.

However, the presents were much enjoyed. (do you see Dave's giant feet?)

It was still awesome seeing family.

And other than the Balloon Incident of 2010, Hallie and Kenz had a blast.

And Hallie loved the "pupcakes" with extra, extra sprinkles.

And in the end, that's all that matters.
