The Chinese food has been eaten, the cookie cake devoured, and the girls finally left. One of the mothers and I shared a glass of wine when she picked her daughter up. It was quite nice. Babette had a great birthday and gets to celebrate it twice more. Mr. Babe is taking her to visit her paternal grandmother on Sunday. On Monday, my cousin is flying in from Partinico and we'll be having a cake then, too.
