Birthday pictures and party report

Thanks to my friend Rong for Fabi´s great gift and for the CD of pictures with the memories of this second birthday.

Last March 27th, Fabi celebrated with his friends from the playgroup (Krabbel Gruppe) "Creciendo Juntos". We are a group of about 10 mothers and children that meet on Tuesdays from 10:30am to 12:00 noon. Fabi is the eldest kid, as the rest of the babies are around the age of one year, which means the party was basically for the mothers ;)

The main dish was homemade"Milch Reis" (a version of Kheer) -yes, I made it myself! I´ve been practicing and that´s pretty much the only thing I know how to make...besides Guacamole, which I also prepared for that day and served with potato chips. Other goodies included Pillsbury mini-croissants (similar to this), which I prepared some with cheese, some with ham and others with chocolate cream filling; mini chocolate muffins and bread sticks (some with sesame seeds, some were chocolate covered). Fabi blew out his two "teddy bear" candles, this time on a big muffin and then the grown-ups had a toast with a light cocktail "Fruta y Pasión Himbeere-Maracuja".

We sang the traditional birthday song in Spanish, I helped him blow out the candles and some pictures were taken (I hope to have them soon). Each baby received a party bag with some goodies (like a bottle of bubble blowing fun and a wooden shape with their initial) and even their moms received a small surprise (a lip gloss).

Thanks to Diego Andrés, Emil, Manuel, Gabriela and Anna Emilia -and their moms- for a nice time and the happy memories. We missed Nicolas, Lucas and Martín that day, but on behalf of everyone Fabi got a cute birthday card and a gift certificate for the "Kinderstube" toy store in Erlangen. ¡Muchas gracias a todos!
