Entry 20
Today was Fritz and Regina's first Birthday. I was so happy that this came, especially for Fritz since the doctor at first always made it sound like he may not make it this far. Then several weeks ago with Prussia and America's urging, we decided to have a birthday party for them, and invited all of our family and friends.
So today was the day of the birthday party. Papa had decided to come over yesterday to help me get the food ready ahead of time, along with giving them both one of their presents ahead of time. These presents were cute little party outfits for both of them, which they ended up wearing today much to Papa's delight.
Then today, some of the guests decided to come before the party was scheduled to begin. These included Hungary who wanted to take pictures of them while they weren't as distracted, England because he hates not being early to anything, and Germany because otherwise Italy probably would have fallen asleep and missed it. The rest of the guests arrived around the time the party was supposed to begin.
As we waited for everyone who said they were coming to show up, they spent their time talking, playing with the kids and so on. When everyone was here, it was time to open the presents, which ended up taking a very long time. Most of the guests either got each of them something to open by themselves or a bigger gift which they would open together. In theory, this shouldn't have taken as long as it did, but the fact that they both kept getting sidetracked by all the colorful paper didn't help.
Everyone did have to laugh however when it came to the first present. Like with all of the presents after it, the two of them were more interested in the tissue paper that came with the bag, so when Prussia asked to see the presents, they had no problem tottering over to give them to us and went back to playing with the paper. After everyone recovered from this, we gave them their next presents and continued.
They got a lot of clothes, toys and such from our guests. I also finally learned what Regina means when she says "Ba-E." she said this again today when she got a stuffed rabbit from England. So apparently 'Ba-E' is bunny.
Since that was the last gift, I then half jokingly asked them what they say to everyone. I say half jokingly, because I wasn't expecting them to know how to say 'thank you.' The two of them looked at me and everyone else for a few moments; it painted all over their faces that they were thinking. They then said in unison, "Taks yous?" When they said this, there was a round of 'awws' from all of the others and several of the guest, me included, all rushing forward to give them both a hug and tell them their welcome. This caused the two of them to get really happy and start giggling while repeating it over and over.
After the presents were open, we all had cake. Somehow despite the fact, or due to the fact, that Prussia and America were helping the two kids have their cake they ended up getting into a mess. All I really know for sure is that when I came in from the kitchen where I was serving the cake, I found both of my kids' faces covered in frosting while Papa and Japan took pictures of their cuteness.
Soon after that, the guests began to leave for their own homes; leaving at the end Papa, England, America, Prussia and myself to pick up. By the time the party was over and we had dinner, the kids were pretty tired and so was I. What can I say, it was a busy day.
So I went to sleep pretty early tonight.

For anyone who's curious: I got the idea of the kids being more interested in the wrapping from my niece, who until she was about four would always give us the toy while she played with the paper.
