Me, Rosa, and Amy
Proof that it doesn't take long for party silliness to begin. (You can thank Darryl—see his hand?—for Amy's snapshot-perfect expression.)

It became very clear this toy was Shelby's favorite
She spent most of the evening gnawing on it.

Chew chew chew

Shelby took great delight pulling the toy apart
Probably to the chagrin of this gift's giver :-p although no one complained. Clearly Shelby was having a blast.
