Max's 5th
Birthday!
|
5 years already ... wow! |
 |
 |
|
I LOVE birthdays! |
One VERY Cool Book!
|
 |
 |
|
A special Maths Book?
|
... and all my friends came along after school ...
|
 |
 |
|
... they never sit this still in school, there must
have been a promise of "Cake" ...
|
... but first, some competition! |
 |
 |
|
Cake time ... |
Wow, a Batman Helicopter Cake! |
 |
 |
|
My friend Oliver gave me an Archaeology set! First
the safety glasses, then the gentle tapping and scraping ...
|
... followed by brushing...
... and for the less patient a Big Hammer... |
 |
 |
|
But Max was very patient.
|
In fact, he found ALL the bones and put the Triceratops (not just any
old Dinosaur!) back together. |
 |
 |
|
Another Birthday, this time Jade's, at the riding
stables!
|
They had slides ..
|
|
 |
 |
|
... and horses ... (and very smelly they are too) |
.... and a Princess carriage.
While the Prince is rather bored.... |
 |
 |
|
... clearly it makes Princesses happy!
|
Max, do you think there's any cake left? |
 |
 |
|
Katarina's Birthday! A

Overwhelmed by pressie-opening choices... |

All this gift-opening is getting exciting !
|
... and from Daddy, my very own "Sit Still!" chair... |
 |
 |
|
A feast!
|
An Ariel Cake ...
No, Mum & Dad did not pre-approve the crown.... |
 |
 |
|
Sooooo ... onto the games
|
Game 1: How to remove Ariel from the cake without destroying the cake

 |
 |
... and hence Cake #2 ... the backup Cake!
To Katarina's right, her best friend, Felix Inseparable! |
Magic Flying Mattresses...
|
 |
 |
|
The Horror of Halloween... scared Mum and Dad to bits
... (American Tradition, no idea what it's for ...)
|
At least we still recognized Katarina ... |
 |
 |
|
This little ghoulish creature slinks out the door ...
|
Our little "Pumpkin" witch |
 |
 |
|
... swings for her supper ...
|
While the Vampire seeks out new blood ...
|
 |
 |
|
Has anybody seen my broomstick?
|
A grim collection of scary monsters ...
|
 |
 |
|
M-tek Company Boat Trip - Awesome day for it!

The Wind in your hair (except Daddy, because ...) |

The fearsome banana!
|
But we didn't fall in! |
 |
 |
|
HK Disney Trip with Daddy!
We met REAL princesses!

Watched the 3D-Show 3 times (because Daddy had to take one of them to
the toilet each time the rain-effects started ...) |
 |
 |
|
We also met this odd-looking Beast!
|
Swung on Tarzan's Tree-House Rope |

Rode on every ride that went back and forward .. |
 |

castle on a boat)
|
Riding the Space-ship! |
 |
 |
|
Our own little glow-worm...

Spotting Mini and Mickey from the top of the Bus ... |
