A Sad Sad Story about Supermom and her Superkid

A sign has been made as part of the decorations. I used my new Cricut machine for the first time!


The table is set. The serving plates ready for their arrays of delicious baby-friendly finger foods that would have have been handmade by Mande, the Supermom.



The cake has been baked and frosted. All it needs is a little decoration.



Oh, but then something terrible happens. Supermom Amanda comes down with fever. She can no longer deny the sad fact...both Ailin and Supermom have bad, nasty colds with hacky coughing, sore throats, fevers, headaches...the list goes on. What to do?

Superdad to the rescue. He advises that the party should be cancelled or postponed.

Postponed? You mean, Supermom has to do this all over again? The cake? The decorations? The food? Impossible...

But, can we just fake it? I mean take some photos of Ailin with the cake, at least? At the very least?



The next morning. The party has been cancelled...decision about postponement to be announced at a later date. Right now, Supermom can't even think straight. (But she knows that if she were to attempt another party, all food and cake would come from Costco, and decorations would be miniscule.)

So, let's just set the table and pretend that a good time was had by all - minus the delicious finger foods which hadn't been made yet.




The sweetest cake in the world. Perhaps, Supermom thinks, this is a blessing in disguise. Japanese people would not really enjoy such a sugar rush.




Happy Birthday Dear Ailin...



Happy Birthday to me ... hee hee.




Oh, Supermom, you shouldn't have, really. You needn't have gone to all this trouble for li'l ol' me.




But, I do appreciate it and will cherish these photos always as the birthday party that never happened.
