Under the Sea Birthday Party

Yummy fish baits (party favors)!

When Baby M turned 4, we decided to throw an under the sea Birthday Party. Fortunately we had a rather mild Spring in Germany this year, so we could actually let the children run free in the garden. We played the regular favorites like fishing and catch. A great idea I picked up from the Birthday in a Box - and it's played like musical chairs, caused a lot of tumbling around and laughters. Instead of fighting for chairs, children were fighting to crawl through this cute little killer whale, and who ever is caught in it wins a prize. (Naturally we made sure everyone wins. ;-))

And what is a party without the obligatory chocolate munchies. The children were especially taken in by the little sharks on the Muffins, and just couldn't get enough of the smiling Octopus I placed on the birthday cake. I made a "Maulwurfkuchen", loosely translated as a "Mole Cake". It's a delicious German torte - imagine a giant Oreo, only this is a chocolate cake with a creamy Banana centered surprise.  

What a catch!
