Cake

Hazel had a great birthday. This year I couldn't think what to get her (as the youngest of 4 I think we already have every toy she could ever want!), so I just took her to ToysRUs and let her pick her own. And she picked great things: Toy food that doubles as learning numbers (cookies to count), colors (ice cream scoops), and fractions (pizza slices)! In only 5 minutes at the store! She enjoyed playing with the toy food she chose (as did the other kids when they saw it). But she never got around to a nap and halfway through dinner she was nearly asleep in my lap. So we brought out the cake to wake her up. (That's why she looks a bit unimpressed in the first picture.) But a little sugar in her system woke her right up and she thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the party...until the sugar crash and overtiredness hit and then she fell apart. But she fell right to sleep as soon as she quit crying. I think she had a good birthday overall.
