We started out by blowing up birthday balloons while Eden took a pre-celebratory nap. When she awoke she immediately new something was different because of all the latex spheres about.

We then proceeded to grill burgers, making Eden a tiny one that she could wrap her little claws around. The came the presents. Eden's parents, being giant geeks, got her a mini pink laptop. Although the laptop had many educational games, Eden was most proficient at turning it on and off, making the onscreen squirrel say "Goodbye!" over and over again until you wanted to squeeze its little rodent neck til its eyes popped out like a stress doll.

Next came the cake. German chocolate cake out of the box, made and decorated by my mother, who came down all the way from Oregon for the occasion. We had to help Eden blow out the candles a bit, but she got the basic concept.
All and all, it was a pretty successful day. Eden seemed to enjoy the attention, and the rest of us enjoyed the cake. I leave you with this little epilogue of a picture:
