Birthday Quiz!!

The Great Birthday Quiz!
The person who responds in the comment option and has the most correct answers (in some cases POLITICALLY correct - be careful how you answer!) wins a prize, imported from Germany - to be handed out at Daniel and Elizabeth's wedding on August 1 in Columbus, Ohio. Non-German speakers are allowed to ask for help from their German-speaking friends. More than one person can win a prize!

Question #1: Of the first 4 cakes shown, which cake belongs to which birthday boy or girl?

Question #2: Of the three birthday people represented, how old (in years) is each one?*
(Hint: The cake Helen is carrying shows two possible options. Look carefully at Helen's hair and general appearance for evidence of which cake gives the correct age.)
*possible trick question!

The more berries, the better.

Question #3: Who's creation is this? (It is a girl who used to go by the title "Edelgermanin")



All of Helen's friends are anxious to reach this age milestone. Question #4: Why is this so?

I think we've gone to gift bags - attractive, easy and re-usable.

You can always use a decorative tea cup.

The table looked especially festive for Helen's big day.

Many family members and friends graced our table with their presence that day.

How thankful we are that we kept all those old toys. This kept the boys busy for quite a while. Question #6: What brand of toy is the A-frame house with the turquoise roof?

A nice bouquet of flowers always spruces up the sideboard.

Question #7: Name three differences between Helen's birthday table and this one.

Amy Hausmann with Theo.

Uli Hausmann and Kelly.

Becky had to put a puzzle together in order to find out what her present from Nadine and Annika was.

Almost complete. Now, turn it over and find out what it is.

Question #8: What category does this present relate to? (Even non-German speakers can figure this one out! Look for the key word.)
