There was a lot of Playmobil sets to put together.

T's bday

Tia wanted everything that was in a cardboard baby book on a birthday page. She wanted the same cake and snacks and even the same present, a teddy bear. We didn't pay attention at first but she kept on insisting. We had bought her all the new Playmobil circus sets but we knew she's be disappointed with no bear. Luckily the toy store had a perfect one. It really was perfect too. Tia loves it and it got many ohhs and ahhs when it was pulled out of the bag.

She also asked for sundaes just like in the book.

The cake.

She wanted the same cake too but asked to have dogs on it. She also wanted to decorate it but was happy to make a box cake with Dad and let me do the frustrating part. The cake turned out soft and crumby. I tried using a jarred icing but it was too sticky and runny. I ended up making a cooked butter icing and piping it on the cake. She was happy and so was I.
