[Firox]

*well, Jyo smiles, leaps into the middle of the den, after ? noms the three cookies... mainly to keep the four smaller Vees safe from pouncing*


*Vay passes ? cookie dough, slightly softened so its easier to throw and spread, its the one that Vay made not the one that Mia and Vee made, Firox bakes them... then Vay shows the two how to make oatmeal raisin cookies and sugar cookies*




*Jyo playfully meows first, then licks ?'s nose to get it started*

[Firox]

   *Firox smiles*
"have a good rest"

*the two girl Vees, Mia and Vee, after helping to make the last of the sugar cookies and oatmeal cookies... Vay takes them with Firox, for a good well deserved nap*
*Vay picks up the rest of the cookie doug, so Firox can make what it likes with them*

[Firox]

*next day - all except for ? awake*
*Jyo, Arval, and Joseph helping to set up everything*


*Linette and Zoran grabs the cheesecake*
*then Zoran keeps the 4 boy Vees busy and occupied by helping out Jyo, Arval, and Joseph setting up balloons, and ribbons*


*Firox is making the tasty cheeseburgers, and crisping the bacon and caramelizing the onions - Firox can't help but to eat half a meat with some cheese and onions for taste test, passing me other half*
*I help out by cutting the veggies, and cutting the bread*


*Mia and Vee also get to help out in a fun way, the oatmeal cookies they help made, cut into strips, and crumble some, so the cheesecake birthday has a design of a fort castle, some cookies form the 'walls' other white chocolate strips form the 'entrance wall', some regular chocolate fondue to form the 'stone gaps' of the wall, some green sprinkles to from 'grass', some blueberry jam mixed with crumbled cookies to from the 'castle's moat' even giggle when Vay helps the two make a marshmallow alligator for the moat*


*in the middle, using the sprinkles for grass, they use crumbled cookies to for the worlds "Happy Birthday ?"*


*Sherrie comes to visit, greets all - takes a photo of Vay, Mia and Vee - ask Jyo to bring the other four for the photo*


*after photo, the four return to helping*
