A Very Merry Unbirthday
October 6, 2007
Due to various circumstances, this year I ended up celebrating my birthday pretty much every free moment I got with the various factions of my family and friends separately. My first party would be at my grandfather's the first weekend of the month, and I figured, while I was traveling anyway, why not celebrate with Skye, who wouldn't be interested in the other festivities I'd be attending, and Hime-chan, who lives further south so Pennsylvania is a good half-way point? Louis, of course, is always dragged along on these things, but luckily is always a good sport. And why not have a tea party while we're at it? And dress in Elegant Gothic Lolita dresses? And play with dolls? And all sorts of things not at all appropriate to turning 27.

Ha ha, Louis plays with dolls. (When we force him to.) |
Four dolls for tea |

|
Well, three dolls and one bunny, anyway. |

Playing with our dolls |
"Would you care for some tea?" |
|
|
That is probably the nicest my hair is ever going to look curly. |

He even took it himself. |

|
I don't know if Louis did this on purpose or if the camera went off after he thought it did, but it looks nice either way. |
Look! She matches the drapes! |
|
|
|
Such a pretty dress |
A closer view |
Not bad for an 82 year old man |

Grandpa made her take off her glasses. |

A beautiful smile |
Looking anxious |

This would probably look beautiful if properly fixed up. |
Trying to catch Skye in a laugh. |
