Sweet September…

Posted On September 29, 2011

Sunflower from our garden. I was curious to capture a honey bee with the flower. To my surprise, there was a bee that visits this flower every day. (not sure though was it the same bee)

 

September month hosts two important anniversaries in our family. One is our Wedding Anniversary and the next is Riya’s Birthday. We decided to go to Paris to celebrate this occasion. A busy capital city filled with full of history, tradition, modern, Fashion, and whatnot. One place which we want to visit every time we are in Paris is the magnificent Eiffel Tower. We made it to the tower on our wedding anniversary. It was amazing to see the whole city view from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

A Chiffon cake with buttercream icing specially made for Riya and her KG friends.

On Riya’s Birthday, we visited Disneyland Paris. Not only for the children, even for parents it is a great place to spend a day or two. Some of the attractions Riya liked very much were Sleeping Beauty Castle, Big Thunder Mountain, Little World, and the Parade. The best part is whatever ride was interesting for us we did a couple of times, though Riya insisted to go for more time. As time was running, we finished with the Parade. For children, how much fun it would be looking at their favorite cartoons dressed up beautifully and to see them in real. Mickey, Mini mouse, Winnepooh and team, Disney princesses, Lion King, Mermaid, and more. Riya was screaming looking at the characters and indeed was very excited to see them all. At the end of the day, she doesn’t want to go back home. I hope, it was a great Birthday gift memorable for years to come.

The cake for feeding 60 people at Riya’s Bday party. Homemade sugar candies were turned into to the garden and waiting for the final touches. Riya helped me in every layer of cake.

This time she chose party theme as Tom & Jerry and it is her recent most favorite Cartoon. The roses were made up of Almond sweets and Marzipan. The characters were made from Buttercream icing.

As usual, this time to Riya had celebrated three Bdays. One with KG friends, next in Disneyland, and the last one with all our friends. This September was a milestone as she turned 6 years old. she left KG and joined Primary school. In Germany, it is a tradition to send children to school with school cones, which is followed for long years. Parents have to fill up the cones with all the favorite things of the child. For Riya, it was some chocolates, fruits, books, CD’s, toys(:-) it is a big cone). It was great to watch her and her friends carrying the school cones on the first day of school. It is already the second week in school and good to see her enjoy this new world too.

Last but not least, the blog writer has been awarded full-time fun. I will very soon start to work in a popular German software company. Lots of good things in this September. Thanks for all your wishes.
