Amalia's birthday

Amalia's birthday was a couple of weeks ago. 5 years old! Here are some highlights.

Her main gift was a new bike. This is a mountain bike with gears and real brakes. It was hidden in the van so this pic shows her discovering it.

A few adjustments.
Learning how to use the hand brakes.
And she is off! It took a couple of tries to learn the gears and the brakes but now she is going great. She can ride faster and further than ever before and most importantly she loves it.
And then we had a party for her. Amalia wanted to have a costume party so all her friends dressed up. She wore her bumble bee outfit.

Lisa made cupcakes, two kinds and different kinds of frosting. They were delicious and almost healthy.
and the kids loved them too.
The party was at the park with a giant playground. Camilo loved the playground, especially having us chase him around.
and the kids had a great time too!
