Birthday party

We had a birthday party for my baby niece yesterday. I went over and my sister took photos of the baby in her red dress to place on their Christmas cards. My sister didn't like any of them and complained how poor quality they are. That did surprise me since she has viewed photos from my camera before. I think she expected high quality professional perfect photos from a low quality camera. She tried to reset it to get better photos to discover it is on the top quality photo setting. When she said she should have gone to a professional to obtain her perfect photos, I lost my patience with her repeated complaining and we had a fight. It ended when I told her not to ever borrow my camera again if the quality upsets her. She is the one who asked me to bring it to get quick photos in the first place.

We had cake and ice cream. The baby has been liking the Elmo character from Sesame Street. She had an Elmo chocolate cake with white frosting and opened presents with Elmo paper. I ended up unwrapping them because my niece would not rip any paper. She got a baby doll and Elmo doll that goes potty from her parents. My parents gave her a snowman sippy cup and pair of blue pants. I gave her dishes and bath toys. My mother had to announce to all that gave too much stuff in my present. What difference did it make to her?

Anyway we had fun searching for the batteries that were included with the Elmo doll. I found the batteries inside Elmo, they just didn't work. I replaced them and screwed the cover back on. When things sit on a shelf for a long time, batteries tend to do that. When we ate supper the baby was not very hungry and wanted down from her high chair. When my supper was finsihed cooking, she wanted food off my plate. Funny kid. We got the baby ready for bed and I left because my nieces tend not to calm down when I am around. All 4 nieces get excited seeing auntie. When I got home I realized I forgot the connecting cord for my my camera at my sister's house. Post later. Bye!
