Luke's Party

We threw a little party in honour of Luke's 2nd birthday last weekend and we invited a small group of friends and our staff to join us.



The Cake



Pool Time!



Cake time, except Luke wasn't that impressed with his cake and candles. We'd been practicing 'blowing out' for days but on the day he got a little stage struck!


When I said we'd invited our staff that meant, Kumar and his 2 children, Pushpa and her son Balaji, Murasoli and Mary. As usual I thought I'd overdone it on the catering front but as it was Mary's daughter Angel also arrived (pale pink Salwar) together with Mary's sister, husband and 3 children! The whole spread disappeared before our eyes and so did they! As I went into the kitchen this is the ensemble I came across...with rice and more chicken cooking on the stove! Not a morsel was left! I think they had a good time.




Only in India...rounding off the day with a nice game of cricket! Luke is a pretty mean bowler!

What a great celebration!

1. Did YOU make that cake??
2. Seems pretty typical that staff is invited for celebrations, yea?

1. Errr yes of course, she says with fingers crossed behind her back!
2. No, not really. Some friends were horrified that I had, but we're leaving and they'd all been so much part of his life here that I just had to.
