My First Birthday Cake
So it all began a few weeks before my birthday!
My Mommy's facebook status said something about a green (eco-friendly) birthday party.
She and Manali kept having meetings after meetings and discussions after discussions!
Mimi & Me
Manali & Me
Manali & Me in color
They started working on this birthday banner
The best part was I could play with all the left over scraps of paper.
At one point I even got to dip my fingers in the paint :))
They made boats.
Crafts 101 - Boats by Manali & Mommy
Hand crafted Fishes by Manali
Christmassy socks & "I am 1 Banner" by Mommy
Goody bags - I wonder whats in there!
Then the day before the party, Mama ..
and Kaka came home ..
They put up the flags
Picked up the cake
And then Kaka had this great idea to make me wear a bandana!
So here's how a bandana is supposed to be worn
And here's how my mom made me wear.
Mothers, I tell you!
Only when I made a big face ..
Pa came to my rescue

Shanty Aunty gave me the best gift, that made me smile instantly :)
She made this beautiful painting portraying me & the monkey!
"Hey look, the monkey stepped out of the painting"
Spursh gifted me a Comb, said, "Dude, you really need it!"
"Dad, Lemme get atleast one solo!"
"Finally! bande ko kya kya karna padta hai to get one solo around here :))"
