Vedhika has turned 3!

It’s true!!!

Vedhika has turned THREE yesterday (08-Dec-2008). The days are running. As we had in the past two years this year also we had a great grand birthday party in Solihull Golf Centre on 6th of Dec 2008 (Vedhika’s Star Birthday). Almost everyone attended the party whom we have invited except a few due to unavoidable circumstances.

The hall was ready at 6.00pm decorated by Ramesh and Raj with the help of Subbu. This time we decided to go with the butterfly themed party. So right from the door curtain to the backdrop banner for cake cutting Veebha took time and managed to buy everything with butterfly on it. The food arrived almost at the same time (served by Jimmy Spices restaurant). I will explain about the menu later with some photographs.

Veebha gorgeously dressed in her saree and Vedhika in her beautiful birthday frock have reached the party hall at 6.30pm with Nelapatla family (Murali, Radhika and Shreya). Siva, Lavanya and Trisa were already with me to receive them. I took a quick break to get myself dressed with my new pyjama and kurti (Veebha said it suited me well). The added advantage to the hall is the audio and speaker system. We have managed to play some Tamil songs in the background. Lavanya and Siva managed to bring some cds to play on last minute request.

People started coming in at around 7.00pm. Yes I would definitely want to list everyone who have come and graced the occasion and in no particular order.

Madhu, Siva, Lavanya, Ramesh, Jayashree, Jayashree’s Mom and Dad, Sibi, Sangeetha, Radhika, Murali, Ashok, Preethi, Ashok’s Mom and Dad, Giri, Raj, Bhavani Prasad, Chandra Sekhar, Srinivas Tati, Madhavan, Viji, Prabhakar, Pradha, Rukmani, Guru, Manju, Subbu and Yogi.

On the kids front
Trisa, Prahalad, Aravind, Sahas, Nithilan, Guru’s Son, Shreya, Vishal and Nitin Aarya.

Vedhika was excited for the cake cut and the three butterfly shaped candles on the pineapple flavoured cake were blown out by Vedhika at around 7.45pm. We were able to feel that Vedhika was enjoying the party when every one sung Happy Birthday song. When the guests were enjoying their piece of cake with chips, myself and Veebha managed to take snaps with everyone except some who attended the party.

There should be some dance performance when Veebha and Lavanya are in a party. They managed to gather everyone (mostly ladies) in the middle for some good dance. As a couple Subbu and Yogi gave their special performance to add some extra fun. Everyone had a gala time.

We managed to start the dinner at around 8.15pm. Here comes the menu
Onion Pakora , Dahi Balle, Cucumber and Carrot Salad, Nan, Dal Makhani, Aalo Gobi, Vegetable Biriyani, Chocolate Brownie, Carrot Halwa and Vanilla Ice-Cream.

The birthday girl Vedhika was enjoying the whole evening with ice-cream and was busy opening all her birthday gifts on the spot.

We would like to thank each and everyone who made us remember the day. The fun filled evening came to an end at around 10.30pm.

I know the 4th Birthday Party of Vedhika is just 364 days away…….
