My First Birthday!!





Time flies just so fast! My Mom couldn't believe she is mother of a girl who is already turning one:) The journey so far was so interesting, full of fun and learning. The first year of a person is definitely special and the first birthday calls for celebration! My parents decided to throw a party for the occasion.


The preparation for the event started about three weeks ahead of the Birthday. Finalizing the guest list was the first step.Then a weekend Mom, Dad & Babai went shopping for my special birthday dress and a gift. The venue was club house of our apartment and we decided to decorate it ourselves. Things started moving fast in the last week. The caterer got finalized. Mom/Dad composed a sweet invitaion card and sent across to all friends and acquaintances. One day ahead all the required decoration items were bought.


The day finally came. We visited a nearby temple in the morning after which I became busy playing with my new scooter:) (my birthday gift, of course). My babai(s)(paternal uncles), mamas,pinni and all of us gathered at the club house for the decoration. It was a big task and I was actively participating in it - bursting the balloons that were getting inflated:)


Post afternoon nap, Mom gave me a warm bath and aunts did my make-up :) Guests started coming in slowly and I cut the cake at around 8pm. I thoughrouly enjoyed the cake-cutting as I was surrounded by lots of kids singing the birthday song.


While the party continued, I was already tired and hungry. Mom fed me my dinner. I struggled a bit but finally slept and had a sound sleep for the rest of the night!!


It was a lovely evening that my parents will cherish forever! Watch me enjoying in the park :)
