Boy What a party!

Hi everyone,

I have still not recovered fully from the party fever. Whew! what a party. I was thrilled to see so many people (was a little bit cranky as well - I am not used to so many people you know). All in all, we had a good time.

When I was forcibly woken up at 6AM and pampered all through, I had no idea of what is going to come. I was happily doing early morning rounds with appa. I made the pigeons fly out (Prrrrrrr. Prrrrr ....). Looking at that, squirrels and cats starting to run away from me. I am
getting a lot naughtier now. By 9 AM after the hot shower, I had wind
knocked out of me and slept like a baby (ha ha ha!).

When I woke up, everyone had dressed, appa had gone somewhere and I put on new clothes. I was thinking "Okay someone has called ajja and dodda for lunch". I never told you that ajja and dodda have reached US. More on it in a different post)". It was a short ride and when I got down, there was Vasantha Shashi aunty with "I am 1 today" balloon and in the Milan banquet hall, there were balloons all over the place. I LOVED the balloons.

All people came and wished me happy birthday. I overheard pappa commenting to a congratulation by one of the guests 'Yes we deserve the congratulations. We made it through the first year'. My friends came over, appa's colleagues were there and everyone had a good time.

After one round of talking and wishing, dodda and Padma ajji made aarathi and before I knew it, there was cake all over my face!!!! These grown ups just don't get it - cake is meant to be eaten and enjoyed and not painted all over my face. Anyway, cake was yummy and food was good. Folks at Milan and Michelle's did a good job with food and arrangements.

We thought we had to rent a vehicle to carry all the gifts. Amma is driving all of us back home . I am really excited to open all the gifts once I reach home. ....z z z
