..And She turned 8 .... !!!

7th July is very much a special date for our whole family.. It was when our daughter was born, so far the only grandchild on my side and the only girl and the youngest, on my husband's side ...

So we had to make another trip to Kerala..since she loves a lot of family and friends , especially her grandparents ... and Kerala is where most of them are..!So it was a weekend trip...with our share of 'surprise' gifts packed for D day.. it was a lot of planning and hide and seek ... :P !!

Anyway we managed it and she had no clue... we held the party at home, with a lot of home cooked food..my parents are veterans in giving a party , so I had no trouble letting them decide on the quantity of food... I just helped them execute it.. And as per the Birthday girl's wishes we also had a small Housie or Bingo .. after the cake cutting..everything just went smoothly and then dinner was served...

All are busy playing Bingo...


The Birthday girl told us that it was the best birthday she has ever had..so mission accomplished...and she thanked all of us for doing so much...

Now we are back in Chennai and finally ready to get back to routine , and me to my Jewelry making..which has been sadly neglected for a couple of months...



This is a pic of our baby ..courtesy of my cousin...

She is wearing a necklace that I redesigned. It was too bulky and long, with double strands...so I re-sized and simplified it.

This birthday she said,was all she had wished for ..but by the next one, she hopes there will be a few more babies,..so she can be the big sister and not the baby in the family !!
