Double celebration

Yesterday, in her dad's presence, Mia cut her 2nd birthday cake at 11 p.m. at night. The dad, thanks to his various duties, couldnt make it earlier. The moment the cake was out of the box, Ash nudged a corner off. For someone on a low-fat diet, he had too much cream yesterday. He ate the sugary flowers too.

We had to give up plans of a theme cake (trains and cricket pitches and assorted cartoon personalities) since our regular baker's cake-making machine was under repair.

The kids loved the Chinese musical birthday candle and accompanying fireworks - you light the ignition in the centre and the bloom opens up to reveal tiny candles that burn to the "Happy birthday" song.

I didnt put it over the cake since I didnt want it exploding and spoiling the cake. Anyway it turned out to be a delight for everyone.

That's Mia in her new ghagra choli gifted by her granny.

Happy Birthday for your little daughter! She was really lovely in her new outfit, and with her big smile! Somebody else was near me when I was looking at the picture, and she said: What a lovely little girl!

Best wishes, Diana
