*after count down jumps up n surprises with all*

[Firox]

*all in the den, especially my six younger ones, happily jump up and at top of cute lungs* "happy birthday"


*I jump back surprised... onto Zoran's paws*
"caught you"
*only Robyn and Val stayed behind due to limited mobility*   


*as the six giggle and laugh, running around me and Zoran*

*Joseph gets Robyn's order, and Sherrie gets Val's order - how they like them*

*Firox picks up ?, asks*
"would you like normal cheeseburger, bacon cheeseburger?
single meat, or double meat?
all condiments on the side"


*ketchup, mustard, mayo, spinach, pickles, tomato, grilled onion, sauted mushrooms, spicy Sriracha sauce*

happy birthday, normal is fine ^^ * happily eats *

[Firox]

*once ? gets how it likes them*
*a big bunch of fries too*


*next up are the cheeseburgers for Robyn and Val.... before the six get theirs, then Fi and Ethan*
*finally rest of us, starting with me*


*I go with ? next, as it keeps eating, I pass it nice big glass of mango juice* "thanks you, your so nice sweetie ?"   

[?]

thanks there * happily drinks n keeps enjoying*

[Firox]

*almost 3 hours den time later, everyone nomming their cheeseburgers, some getting two*

*six small Vees, Ethan and Fi stand next to ?, in front of me*
*all eight together*
"Cake Time!!"
*giggle and smile*




*as the six Vees, Fi, Ethan, and even my older brothers and sisters, along with Zoran, Iordan, Aycan, Robyn and Val all join in*
*in singing the Happy Birthday song before the cake*


*I giggle too* "so cyoot"
*Jyo already did the hard part, cutting the cake into slices, and even added them to plates*
"here you go Fi, Mia, Leah... here you go ?"
*I pass the Vees, and ? their nice big slice of cake, before giving them to the other Vees*


*cake is:  yellow sponge cake, three layers, each layer has a cheesecake flavor cream cheese with actual pieces of fruit, the top has cream cheese frosting, so it kind of taste of cheesecake, for the chocolate part? it has decoration of a forest - so the 'trees' are small hollowed out milk chocolate decorations, with food coloring so it looks like tree - similar how in Christmas there is Santa chocolate will nothing inside, or how in Easter the chocolate eggs without the filling*


*each slice has about 5 'trees'*


"thanks you Everyone, enjoy"
*all the Vees smile*




*next up - I gave a slice to both Robyn and Val*
*then I pass a slice to all*
*finally my slice, I sit with all the Vees to eat it*

[?]

*thanks for the slice n keeps eating after singing with all*

[Firox]

*I look at the six, Fi, Ethan, and ?*
"feel free to get messy"
*just to be silly, I add a small little drip on each of the 9 noses*
*giggling, letting the 9 do the same* 


*giggle at the tickle playfulness*




*to make all giggle, and enjoy the day*
*I take a small slice and call Jyo over... once it gets close*
"ya Li...." *I playfully smear the cake, frosting side first on the top of it's nose, I giggle*
"come join in"

[?]

*just keeps eating n relaxing* ^^

[Firox]

*at least the eight join in, playfully tickling and nipping and cleaning the kitty*
*as it laughs and giggles*


*Firox offers ?* "any more cheeseburgers or dessert or mango juice?"

[?]

*nods* some dessert would nice ^^

[Firox]

*this time Firox brings the ? its favorite, since it had cheeseburgers and birthday cake... so brings a fresh large slice cheesecake with some strawberry topping*


*can hear the giggles and laughs from Jyo, as the Vees keep playing*
*then I call Grace over so she can be next*
*i stick a "chocolate tree" on her nose*
"heey, I'm not a forest" *she giggles*


*I stick a 'chocolate tree' next to ?'s cheesecake slice*

[?]

*giggles n happily eats it before stretching*

[Firox]

*just this once, once the ? stretches, even if its for a minute, I giggle and tap the stretching tail*
*after I set up it's favorite sleeping area* "looks like we win today"
*I giggle*
"hope you had fun and is full"


*meanwhile the Vees still play with Jyo and Grace*




*once ? settled in, I go and join the fun*
*giving Grace a surprise pounce - she eeps surprised*
