It’s a Girl

Delphine hit the big one-oh a few weeks ago, on Sunday, March 21. We had planned a party for her in Cambridge, but then, well, our plans got rejiggered, and we ended up just having a little party for her here at home.

She had all the important stuff: loving guests, a pretty party dress, cards and presents, and chocolate cake (the cake I grew up eating at every family birthday, the cake my sister loved so much she made a movie about it in college) with a lone orange candle on top.

This last was a bit of a challenge, since we couldn’t find the box of well-used fluorescent candles for a while. “How hard can it be?” asked Caleb. “She only needs one.”

Next year, maybe we’ll add in balloons.
