6 years of motherhood

Suuny turned 6 on May 8th. Of course this was his first birthday in India. As always we wanted to make it the best for him(it is a first child syndrome). So the celebrations started on 7th night night(a day before) when we went to a Jain Temple on the hill where we enjoyed the view of Delhi. He had asked for pasta and garlic bread for dinner that night. He loved the dinner followed by his favorite chocolate ice-cream from Mother Dairy.

On May 8th that day started with lots of gifts. He had wished for a watch since all the kids on the farm have watches and he is the only one who does not one(he claims because of which he does not know when to come home after playing!). Pappa and Mumma gave him a nice Mickey watch. He also received gifts from Chiku and Mummy Ma(Manna's mom). He received lots of phone calls from US, which was also one if his wishes for his birthday since he did not want any of his friends and family to forget his birthday. For lunch he had asked for Idli, Sambar and Chutney(a South-Indian dish). After eating lots of Idlis, we cut the cake when Papa got home early from work. I had baked vanilla cake in my OTG. It turned out really good with added taste of bananas and dry fruits.

Late afternoon we got ready to go to Mall for bowling that Sunny had wished for on his birthday. The bowling alley was wonderful and smoke free (I did not like bowling alleys in US for the same reason). Manna could not bowl with his injured elbow. So it was me and sunny who played the game. I think he is too young(rather not that strong) for the game since he got really tired of throwing balls after few rounds. The wonderful evening ended with dinner at McDonald's(the chain is good in India, even food wise). He loved the day!

The birthday party with his friends was planned for 10th may in Pizza Hut. How can a party be not fun when there are friends, games, PIZZAS, ice-cream and cake! Later that night we opened all the gifts. Thanks to all his friends and moms for wonderful birthday gifts.
