I have an absolute boat load of pictures from Halloween and Saffron's birthday, so how about we start with Saffron's birthday. She's now 12! This year, she asked for a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, decorated like a Poke Ball (from Pokemon).
 |
| Lotsa presents! Found out that my mom and I both got the same wrapping paper, whoops! (The skull and pumpkins are Halloween decorations, not gifts.) |
 |
| The husband did the art for this bag -- we pulled out the cards from the game "Sushi Go!", and he based it off of that. Came out very cute! |
 |
| We got her a variety of Asian snacks, including Hello Panda, Pocky, mochi, a chocolate drink thing, and some purple yam snack things (which were actually really good). |
 |
| Osric got her some Pokemon fakey Lego. These were actually surprisingly nice, much better than the Mega Blocks we'd gotten before, though still not as nice as real Lego. |
 |
| "Mom! Let me read it already!" |
 |
| The folding green was much appreciated -- she's already been to the store to buy herself Harry Potter Lego! She didn't spend all of it though -- unlike her brothers, she doesn't let it burn a hole in her pocket. |
 |
| This pencil sharpener is actually a lot of fun to play with. >.> |
 |
| Poor Saffron spent a lot of time fighting with this wrapping paper -- it's impossible to rip! I couldn't get it to tear either. Very pretty, but it's the kind of paper that you shouldn't use a ton of tape on if you want the giftee to be able to open without scissors. D: |
 |
| Tons of art supplies -- she was really excited about these! |
 |
| Harry Potter Puzzle that Corey got her. |
 |
| The husband and I got her a Ravenclaw scarf, complete with embroidered house crest. |
 |
| Video games, a must-have. This one is pretty cool because the whole concept is that you create your own levels, and because Oz also has the game, they can share levels with each other. |
 |
| A cat apron. So cute! |
 |
| Crappy picture of her Pokemon -- Eevee and Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff is a singing Pokemon, so we spent the rest of the weekend listening to children sing"Jiggly-puuuuuff, jiiiiigglleeeeeee~!". |
