Cinco en Mayo...

Although her birthday is tomorrow, we had the kiddy celebration of Sophia's fifth birthday yesterday at Happy Kids in Eppelheim. B wasn't taking any chances on a party at home with the crazy weather we've been having. Last thing either of us wanted was a house full of kids with cabin fever hopped up on icing. The day turned out to be beautiful, which had the unexpected bonus of leaving the place almost completely empty. It felt like we had rented out the whole joint.
This year B somehow averted the usual cake disaster: it was beautiful and quite tasty too! Emily enjoyed herself thoroughly (she’s laughing on the inside). Finally, I think all my talk about grilled chicken hearts has created a scarcity of this precious commodity in the Heidelberg area. Enter the turkey heart. They're about 5 times the size of chicken hearts and every bit as good. I'll spare you the photos as they seem to shock even hardcore chicken heart lovers. I can sense profound your disappointment...
