Just a few days ago was Saffron's birthday! She's 14 now, making us parents feel positively ancient. We had a good day with cake, presents, and lots of video games. The cake she had is a Swedish princess torte, which was delicious. We picked up a special musical spinning fireball of death candle thing this year, because it had 14 candles built in! After blowing out the candles, we discovered that the only way to get it to stop making music was to cut a wire, so we also reenacted all those scenes from movies where you have to figure out which wire to cut, ha!

It really was a bit of a fireball at first!

But after that, it was quite pretty. The "petals" flip out and then start to spin around slowly.

 |
| Yum! |
 |
Good haul of presents this year :)
