A Little Birthday Party, but...

...one little one was not feeling too well.

We knew Kenzie had a cold because of her perpetual runny nose but it was painfully obvious she had a bit of a headache too. Photos always seem to reveal all. In this case, it was easy to see that Kenzie was dealing with a painfully annoying headache too.

Her usual bubbly, smiley demeanor was hidden behind squinted eyes like she was Clint Eastwood staring down a dirty villain at high noon. Her little girl personality was hidden behind a seemingly permanent scowl. Upon viewing the photos from my little birthday celebration, it was obvious Kenzie had a headache and wasn't feeling herself.

She had no desire to play on the boats with Lukey. She was a bit clingy and just wanted to be held. Her nose continued to run like a babbling brook all evening long. She did, however, get excited and a bit bubbly when she found her baby doll in the toy-box and subsequently carried her baby doll around most of the evening. 

Unfortunately, that scowl and Clint Eastwood squint was the look of the day. Funny thing is that I am the one known for sporting that distinct Clint Eastwood squint!

As with most kids, something briefly took Kenzie's mind off her runny nose and headache...  a chocolate truffle cake! She perked up a bit after her cake...
