October POD / Day 11 - Mike

Another day, another birthday party. My backyard and house was a whirlwind of a princess dresses and cupcakes as my daughter and her friend who were born on the same day, less than 12 hours apart, celebrated their 4th birthday. I had already posted a portrait of Charlotte on her actual birthday 2 days earlier, so I thought I would go a different direction today.

Mike was one of three fathers, including myself, who braved the onslaught of pink foam princess crowns and my little pony today. One mother noted "There was a whole bunch of Estrogen and a tiny bit testosterone." Mike stood in awe of the flurry of sprinkles and icing that was the cupcake decorating table. I can't say if his sunglasses were hiding fear in his eyes, but I think I saw him flinch when "More gumdrops!" filled the air.
