Another party!

Atchuthan loved all the attention he got for his birthday. We had another party for friends and family on Friday night. He loved playing with all his cousins and friends. This is the first time we hosted so many people at our home and thankfully, it didn't turn into a disaster.
The kids on the dance floor. They enjoyed the music and created an impromptu dance floor in our living room.
Enjoying appetizers and some conversatioon.
The cake! I know it was a Thomas-themed party but it was too much work and I couldn't find an appropriate cake-pan. So we went with vinatge cars instead. Luckily, it turned out well. Wondering why everyone was singing.
Ooh - candle time again. I love blowing them out.
Mhmmm - yummy cake.
Yay - more presents. Thanks to Aunty Aneeta, Uncle Srinivas, Anand and Sunny for the Thomas engine and tracks. He LOVES the book too. :)
Thanks to Sho periamma, periappa, Krishna and Rofan for another Thomas set!
Wow - more trains. Thank you Zukinya (;)), Muk and Trisha.
Yay for trucks! Thank you Apooba and Govind.
And cars too? Wow this is definitely my lucky day. Thanks Latha periamma, Bagga periappa, Radh, Vichi and DJ anna.
And Aunty Shaz, Rick uncle, Raushan, Armaan and Kamaran got him some cool engines from the Thomas show for his tracks. Thanks guys. (will add pictures soon)

Sharing his toys.
I just had to post this one - a perfect frying puri. Thanks ladies for helping me make them :).
I hope everyone had a good time. We enjoyed having everyone over. Thanks for all the wonderful presents too!

Happy Birthday Atchuthan!

Wow - we can't believe that he is 2 years old today! He had a wonderful day. He had fun in school in the morning. And in the afternoon he had some friends over to play with him.

Mommy and daddy got him a junior golf club and some wooden train tracks for his birthday.


Viji patti and KK thatha got him this Lego Duplo Construction site set.

Going trick or treating with my friends around the neighborhood. 

Eating some of the loot. 

Mommy says I did very well and filled up my ghost bucket and that she had to carry some candy in her pocket. Whatever. We should do this more often. I had a blast.
