Pomp Unfurled

As is becoming tradition for the first birthday, the older sisters dictated the cake's shape. Annie thought it should be "a Dorf cake, 'cause dorves are really cute like Luci." Millie suggested a gnome.

I turned that cake into a Dorf-gnome in about half an hour, which included making and tinting the frosting. Don't snicker.


Luci was amused by all the fuss.



She watched as we sang and blew out her candle.




I added a flower to her tray to improve the aesthetics.



Stupid me.



Rule #1. After eating kryptonite, always cleanse the palate with a sprig of vegetation.



Before bed, she opened her pillow from Millie. (Luci's parents did not give her anything because they are grinches.)
