Birthday Ideas for a 5 year old

I just did my ticker for my son.  He's going to be 5 in Feb.  Any suggestions on bday parties?

We had a huge 1st bday party with friends and family.  We have not had a party with his playmates from daycare over, usually just family.  I am trying to think of something fun to go to or do for my son's birthday in the middle of winter.  We are in a fairly small town.  We have usually went somewhere a week or so after his birthday....hotel with a waterpark.  This year, I think I'd like to have his little friends over.

Mom's with winter bdays have any other suggestions?  TIA

    I'm dreading the years between the bounce house age and the sleep over age!

    Winter birthdays can be hard.

    I loved doing a bounce house place because it was easy and the kids had a blast but it sounds like it's not an option for you?

    What about bowling?  

    As they get older I think we'll do bowling/laser tag, etc.  Probably the 6-10 range?  Not sure how a group of 4-6 yr olds would do bowling but I think the 6-8 group would like it.

    At 9 - 12 they enjoyed a movie/sleep over party.

    Ages 12 - 15 we take him and 1 or 2 friends up skiing but again probably not an option for you, huh?

    At 16 it's "can I have some cash for gas?" and he's off doing his own thing.

    They grow up so fast! 

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

    What about a pizza place.  Have them eat, open presents and maybe if the place allows a few small games like pin the tail, etc.
