All The Things That Start With H!

Happy Birthdays! (Sooooooo many Birthdays…)

Doc and Hazel had GREAT birthdays! Let’s start with Hazel. In the morning she opened gifts! She got games, a pop-it pencil case, and a BIKE! She and my dad got to ride around the neighborhood and she LOVED IT! When we got home from school, we watched a mediocre Netflix movie while I cut up cookie dough (more on that later). The movie was Level 16. I think it’s supposed to be a psychological thriller, but I’m still not sure. It was seriously…um…a movie. Then I spent the next three hours making cupcakes and brownies.

You’re probably wondering why I have cookie dough, cupcakes, AND brownies mentioned in the paragraph above. I spent FIVE TOTAL HOURS creating the best dessert I’ve ever made!

MINI BURGER CUPCAKE/BROWNIE/THINGIES! I made vanilla cupcakes for the buns, brownies for the burgers, and fondant for the cheese and lettuce. I also made sugar cookie french fries and red frosting for ketchup!

Then we watched the movie “Encanto” (I LOVED it) and stayed up pretty late preparing for Doc’s birthday (which was the next day). Speaking of Doc’s birthday…

The night before we had blown up a LOT of balloons and COMPLETELY COVERED his bedroom floor in them! We also covered the rail on the staircase with streamers and Doc LOVED IT!!! He was REALLY excited! I only wish I had taken a video of his reaction!

When he woke up, he opened gifts including pajamas, bouncy balls, and books! We played some new board games for a few hours and then went to the park! Doc played so hard! He ran around, bounced balls, climbed up slides, and screamed from the sugar rush of cookies for breakfast. Then, we took Doc to see Kim (his nanny) so that they could spend some time together because EVERYONE needs a break from our family. (Although, Kim is basically a Topliff because Doc loves her so much!) Then the rest of us went home to lounge around and prep the cake. Because I was so wiped out from baking the day before, my mom made cake, icing, and layered on the fondant. I got to do the fun part…DECORATING! My mom and I made a cake of the face of Doc’s favorite superhero! Can you guess who?

Spiderman!!!

Here are some photos of Doc and Hazel on their birthdays:

Going back a bit farther, my Grandma and Great Aunt, Nana and Auntie, celebrated their birthday on January 8th! I made cake, and we called them to wish them a great day!

Nana and Auntie-I hope your birthday was full of laughs and good times and I hope the year teaches you new things, and is filled with joy!

Alrighty! On to H#2! Hair!

Hazel and I both got our hair dyed!!! I got mine a pinkish orange and Hazel got a vivid blue and purple!

Now for H#3: Hostile Ostriches!

I went to a petting zoo with my family and our DEAR family friends, Akiva and Elannah. The ostriches ate like MANIACS and I’m pretty sure they were plotting my murder! They kept looking at me with a devilish grin. Or wait…maybe that was just their normal expression?
