The only bad part....I tried to use a new setting on my camera that I hadn't used before. NOT a good time to have tried to experiment with my camera. I'd say about 90% of the Elmo photos that I took are blurry, and not just the kind of blurry that you can overlook. Believe me, I'm _____. Anyway, I've talked to others who took photos, so I've got those coming to me. (If I haven't asked you yet and you took pictures, can you let me know? I really can't remember who had cameras and who didn't.) I don't know how they look and what they got photos of though, but anything is better than nothing. I'm trying not to be too upset until I see these other photos. I figure there must be a few good ones in there.
My advice for anyone with a special occassion coming up....go with the tried and true. Don't try something new on such an important day. :-( I'm sure it will all work out when I get these other photos. In the meantime, here are some that I took with my 'tried and true' setting as well as a few of the blurry ones that weren't too bad. (After uploading them now and seeing them on a larger scale, they really are that bad...man, this is upsetting.)
Our Elmo cake...cute, huh? Sesame Street is copyrighted, of course. Publix only has permission for a few designs, but I wanted Elmo. I ordered just a plain red cake, and I added the eyes, nose and mouth. Clever, huh?
Here comes Elmo....
And the blurry photos begin... (and these were the LESS blurry ones if you can believe that)
At some point, THANK GOODNESS, I got my senses back and flipped the camera back to the setting I know how to use, so at least I have good photos of them eating cake. It's only the Elmo photos (which was supposed to be the highlight of the party) that stink. I guess that's just how life works! :-(
Nicole was very timid with the cake and didn't really eat it at all. Kaitlyn dove in as you will see.
