Kids are small enough to hold in our arms and big enough to fill our lives with. So are our two little ones - Sughosh and Mahathi. 4 yrsback, our first bundle of joy came in our life and exactly a year back our second bundle of joy entered our life to live in our hearts and fill them with love. We get the feeling that the whole world is in our arms while holding our kids.
On sunday, 4th of July, we celebrated the first birthday of our little Princess. We had arranged a snacks party after cake cutting in our society club house. Menu for snacks - Tang juice(lemon flavour), Gulab Jamun, Cake, Samosa and Chips. Few days back itself we had made a list as to whom all to invite. Last week after our return from Chennai, booked our club house for the party. Its Rs 200 for a day. We need to do a deposit of Rs 1000 and we will be given back Rs 800 the next day. The club house is an ideal place for a small party. Its in the first floor and on going up, to the left side is the hall and to the right side, we have an open terrace which is really good and airy and kids can have their own fun by playing there. Also there was a small platform in L shape like in kitchen to keep water food snacks etc.
On Saturday we did the purchasing - buying new dress for both Sughosh and Mahathi, got the decoration items for the hall, got paper plates, tumblers, cups and spoons for snacks, purchase of return gifts for all the kids who came. We also ordered for cake and samosa. Saturday was pretty hectic with lots of work. And in between these purchasing, i also made time at home to prepare gulab jamuns. Made 150 jamuns. Sughosh was all excited for the party and was asking when will Sunday come and he only will give the return gifts to everyone.
On Sunday, kids woke up by 7 and Sughosh sang birthday song for his dear little sister. After lunch by around 2, we went to the club house and started with the decoration and it went on till 3.45. Decorated with many balloons of medium size, 2 big balloons with small thermocol balls, colour papers, Happy birthday banner, Noddy's thermacol cuting with Mahathi's name in it. Hall was looking good after the full decoration. Arranged all the chairs and got back home by 4.15. Magesh went to get the cake and samosas and after keeping them in the hall, he was also back home by 4.45. Meanwhile, gave Mahathi cerelac and milk for Sughosh and made them ready by 5. Since we had invited all by 5, Magesh and kids went to the hall first and i also got ready and went to hall. Guests had already started arriving. One by one everyone came and by ard 6, we had the cake cutting. All kids enjoyed and gave everyone the snacks. We had the snacks in the open terrace.
It was a nice get together. Thanks to the weather, though it was cloudy and drizzling in the afternoons, no rains till the party got over. One by one, all left and after cleaning up the place, we got back to our house by 7.45. Our friend Satish and his wife Chitra were with us right from 5PM to 8.30 PM helping us. Magesh's colleague and his wife couldnt come for the party but they came home by 8.30 and stayed till 10. Thus Mahathi's first bday got over in a grand manner.
Thanks once again to all who attended and to all those who gave their wishes through mail, sms and phone.
