Mimzy's First Birthday Bash

these pictures are nothing fancy, but they do a swell job of demonstrating how the birthday girl should slam down her first piece of birthday cake.

step 1: while everyone is fascinated with the flickering candle, swipe a finger-full of frosting to claim your piece of cake. step 2: proceed to wipe the finger-full of frosting over the entirety of your face. it tastes better that way. step 3: wave hello to all your guests, it's the polite thing to do. step 4: ...a charming smile doesn't hurt either. step 5: remember that claimed piece of cake? well, here's the part where you actually get to eat the whole piece and not just the frosting. step 6: take a couple dainty bites, only because you are a little lady... step 7: and stuff the rest in your face, because after all, you ARE the birthday girl. step 8: after stuffing your face with birthday cake, slam the rest onto the floor just because it's fun. yell out, "done!" (or something like it), and then throw your hands up in the air so everybody knows it. step 9: give yourself a hand (and a bath), you deserve it. p.s, thanks for all the birthday wishes, birthday calls, birthday songs, and birthday presents. it was extremely thoughtful and very much appreciated. :)
