Amélie's 5th birthday

Amélie turned 5 last weekend! This was a time for the parents to remember all her birthdays before that, so many memories on this blog already - see her first, second, third and fourth birthdays in Bloomington!

The morning of her 5th birthday started with gifts from mom and dad:


We played during the day with her new playmobile enchanted fountain thingy:


For her party, we went to All Fired Up, a ceramic painting studio. The kids painted ceramic figurines (choices included a dog, a mermaid or a transformer), they really got into it and the parents could just get to know each other and chat in the mean time. Amélie was wearing a princess dress (thanks Mutti Mutti), and loved her rose decorated cake, as well as the big balloons that were attached to her chair:





One of the balloons is a singing balloon, that starts the 'Happy Birthday' song every time you tap it, cute for the first 5 times, really interesting after that... The person who invented that balloon must not be a parent :)...



Overall a great birthday with new friends in a new city!
