Feliz Cumpleaños
Asier helps prepare the birthday cake and tries out some face painting ideas for his big brother’s 5th BIRTHDAY PARTY!
After so many rainy days, we celebrated Gabriel’s 5th birthday Spanish style in our communal garden on a beautiful warm and suuny spring afternoon.
We had expected 10 chums from his nursery class to join us ,making 12 in all. As the first first families arrived to drop off their kiddies, it looked like the great exodus from Egypt. People just kept arriving and I am kissing and greeting mums and kiddies thinking, "who are all these people!" There were 19 kids in the end including a couple of wee brothers and sisters and a baby. Some of the mums and dads stayed and helped out and we had a great time.
Beginning with face painting and ending with a " piñata" a paper mache type model filled with sweets and party goodies,which Edgar makes each birthday, this year a football, which the children hit with a stick to break and then collect the goodies as they fall. It was fantastic getting to chat to the mums and dads of Gabriel’s nursery school chums and to see how happy he is.
