Innocent Dialogue: Om's 5th Birthday celebrations

Ask him his age and he proudly announces he is FIVE.

All set for cake cutting

We've been celebrating Ahana's Bday at home for the last few years, but I havent been able to bring myself to cook for it, so we've ended up ordering it everytime. For the first time we decided we hold the party at home with all the home made stuff.So this is what I planned for 15 kids who turned up:

Paav getting served

Chocolate Pudding

Cake & Paav Bhaaji

Sandwich

Hung Curd Dressing Monaco Biscuit

So this is what my party spread looked like. Apart from this I had also prepared Custard pudding for those who didnt eat chocolate. Some Tong Garden honey coated & salt nuts kept my energy filled lad. And ofcourse Tang as Thirst quenchers..We missed taking pictures of these..

Party Time

I decided to hold the party on a working day evening between 6.00-8.00. While Appaji & Ajji decorated the hall with balloons, I got busy with the kitchen. Took half day off from office & started with veggie cutting for my bhaaji. By 5.45P.M. snacks & decoration was all set. We bought the Blueberry cake from Cakewala in Jayanagar. The puddings(chocolate & custard) were kept ready previous night and were cooling in my fridge. At sharp 6.00, Meera & Radhika our immediate neighbours walked in and Om was excited about the start of his party. While Om & Radhika played alone until 6.15, little were they aware of what was to come...6.20 the remaining 10 kids ran in screaming Happy Birthday Om. Om & Radhika went into a state of shock and sat back on the sofa to understand how someone could make so much noise :-D. It took appaji some party music to get the two out of the sofa. And there we had....all kids dancing to the latest bollywood tunes.

I announced its time for cake cutting

The moment I announced that it was time for cake cutting the kids got ready next to Om and the 5th year cake got cut. I had kids coming to me and telling me, "Aunty every dish was very tasty, we really enjoyed the party." What more would I have liked to hear :-). When Ahana's friends had left she announced that she wanted her party to be grand like this at home. And all of us got busy in ajji's room to open Om's gifts. As usual, with every package opening we were watching the expressions Om had on his face.
