[spotfred]

what can I say , it makes me want to have children very soon

[brianvideowatcher]

Cute "licking" scene! Is "Milo" the Dog from the book Phantom Tollbooth?

[eaglecrowowl]

Thank you BVW, Milo is from a DVD we have called Otis and Milo and I think Milo is the cat. Olive is really into "kitties". Cheers!

[brianvideowatcher]

That was wonderful! I agree with your comments that life is always "sweet and melancholy, both". Lovely work! Because it was so realistic, it really pulled me out of just being a viewer into the moment, participating too. Where's my Party Hat? : ) I loved the frosting "check" at the very end! --Brian

Through the eyes of a child!

I liked your treatment of each scene and what it represented. The playfullness of the cake, the wonder in the decorations, the chaos of the party, the desperation of the aftermath- trying to hold on;

"The birthday's not leaving!"- oh that line just melts the heart, huh?

[eaglecrowowl]

Thank u Elphy!

[cassbahia]

Olive is just simly the queen of the obviously true but never admitted- who has not wanted to say," My birthday is not leaving;it is still my birthday; happy birthday to me!" What a beautiful reminder of the human longing for recognition and love!

Great lil' movie - I was touched!

[nickhigz]

What a camera duo! both of your shooting skills are noticably good. keep up the good work.

[AzyPazy]

Now I miss you all the more! I loved it, so impressive as usual.

The big 3 - HaPpY bIrThDaY to OlIvE! We have the same Hello Kitty tablecloth that has been used a few times, and is now a drop cloth for art and other messy ventures. Good to know there are some things that are universal (like cake licking!). Great show, mc.

[ctee14]

that was so adorable. i love your daughter!

[mcarenmc]

Thank you ctee14. We do too!

[ejp3art]

"My birthday's not leaving. It's still my birthday. Happy birthday to me." Where are the Beatles when ya need em? The honesty of being 3...anticipation, the party! and then the end of the party. "My birthday's not leaving..." Very sweet.

[mcarenmc]

Thank you ejp3art. Sweet and melancholy both, isn't it always that way.

[kjdroz]

So cute, congrats.

[mcarenmc]

Thank you kjdroz.  :)

[daligoddess2006]

COOLSOME! Olive is three! Happy Birthday Olive. Thank you for sharing this special day! I love this too! =D XXOO 5*s and faved!

[mcarenmc]

Thank you DaliG!

[DaleATL2]

WOW! I can't belive she is THREE! She has now graduated to the land of "No Subtitles!" LOL

And what a little nugget of filmmaking! Inspirational as always. I LOVE the lickey-face! That is hilarious. And the party scene is awesome. And the finger in the cake is magical.

*bows* *bows again*

[mcarenmc]

Thank you Dale! The lickey face just thrilled me, to get it captured. I do so much of the filming that I'm not often on video with Olive and it's nice to get those moments. Kudos Andy! Also, I was trying a sound experiment to see what I could do without music, if I could convey the feeling of a party. So I am glad you liked it!

[sophiaal]

I love the way you guys film.

[mcarenmc]

thank you Sophiaal. We try!
