Sofie's Most Excellent Birthday of Fun

Sofie loves being the center of attention, so what better place to be the birthday girl than at a resort that caters to the fancy of a little girl?

She was feted with gifts from America opened a few at a time over three days and her Mumu even brought a brownie cake she made (but then couldn't remember where she packed the birthday candles and matches until after we ate it, darn it).

That wasn't the only cake anyway. At Mini Club Med, the staff and other kids sang the birthday song and Sofie blew out the candles on that cake. The staff even gave her a gift. All of that sounds like more than enough celebration, right? Oh, but not for our Sofie!

On the eve of her birthday, she was our star in a staged song and dance performance in costume of the Mini Club kids for their families. Hapny has the video and it's undeniable that Sofie is a natural on stage. Wonder where she gets that? *grin*
Sofie amazed us even more as a circus performer the morning of her birthday.

I'm talking tightrope walking and the high swinging trapeze! Sofie showed no fear as she climbed the ladder to the high platform where she was greeted by two staffers who lifted her to the trapeze and held the support ropes to control her release from the trap to the net below. We've got that fete on video as well, but I can only share these images. Now I ask you, could there have been a better birthday for a precocious five year old?
