Arianna b'day party

Last week, Momochan has been invited for today, to a kindergarden friend birthday party ;) we had already bought a present, a 1000 pieces puzzle so this afternoon we went to her friend house.
She lives in a big house in a quiet zone of the town and she has a garrden, when we arrived, kids were painting stones and a friend invited Momo to paint her own stone, Momo loves painting ;)
In the backside of the garden kids discovered sliders and balances, they runned, played, jumped, Arianna's mum meanwhile inside the kitchen was baking some little pizzas and taking the cakes to the big livingroom table.
Kids eat the cake and played again inside house, then they got outside again playing "bandiera", four kids against four, Momochan was numer "3", she amused so much, she likes parties and staying with other kids. At home she was really tired and nearly fall asleep on the sofa HAHA

5th bday Momochan ; )))

Since a few weeks we were organizing to preapare a celebration for Momochan's birthday today, the choice is simple because on monday daddy is free from work and relatives could come on visit for dinner, so daddy has prepared a list of ingredients to prepare sushi as our relatives like sushi so much.
My duty is to prepare and cook the roasted meat and veggies and decorate the house, balloons, flags and others, order, buy and wrap in a cute paper our presents ;) So it has been established that relatives shoud arrive around 20.00.
Before that, daddy in the kitchen prepares sushi, roasted meat is already cooking with veggies in the oven, I have prepared decorations and table and Momochan is preparing designs to give to the uncles and cousins as a memory of the day and as a "thank" for the presents ;) 19:40, the bell rings, some of the relatives are already arrived, oncle, aunt and the cousin, in a half an hour time also granny and the last cousin with wife and baby arrive.

In the kitchen daddy is cooking and moving quickly to prepare sushi, gyoza, veggies and other foods.
Well this time Momochan has a tons of presents, there is a packet from granny, one from me, one from daddy, one from aunt and oncle, one from cousin and anothering from the other cousin and family, she has plenty this year HEHEHE
Momochan plays around and shows her room to the aunt and cousins while the other look around and peep in the kitchen to see what daddy is preparing. Soon is time to sit at the table and starting from salami and wrapped grissini with ham, wee jump at sushi rolls and vegetable and chicken grilled gyoza.
In the meantime I have to wash dishes to prepare for roasted meat and cake, I do not have many dishes and to make 9 people eat I have put togather two different set od dishes, tools and glasses !!!
As the dishes are clean,  daddy cut the roasted meat and put veggies while granny takes dishes to the table, Momochan is nearly full, she has eaten salami and ham and after she has had gyoza and also asked for more, she has eaten 6 !!!
So she says she doesn't like so much the arrosto, she is used to eat another type made like a big meatball but in special occasion we cannot serve ;)
The evening goes on, parents talk, Momochan plays with baby cousin Camilla who also is celebrating 6 months togather with Momo, daddy goes in and out of the kitchen, I wash dishes and organize, until comes the moment to eat the cake ;)
Table is cleaned and new dishes and high glasses for champagne are taken, inside the kitchen wee light the special 5 year old candle and take in the livingroom for Momochan to blow.
I thought Momochan was joking when she asked daddy to give her an enormous slice duble than the one I received but really she did eat it all !!!! : O GOSH !!!
After the cake Momo opens the presents, each present opened she gives the correspondant design she has prepared: granny packet contains a Peppa Pig plush which lights and sound, oncle and aunt packet contains a pink cute Peppa Pig sweater, counsin packet contain a 100 pices puzzle, my packet contains a Ikea plush, daddy packet contains a Nikon camera and the other cousin packet contains a little kichen to play "chef" ;) he starts to assemple it togather with Momochan who wants to play and pretends to serve coffee to everybody ;)
Nearly midnight, is time for "sayonara" as baby Camilla is not yet used to go bed so late. Soon everybody has gone, Momochan has totally disappeared when I relalized when I realized she hass already washed and put pijamas, jumped in our bed holding her new dreaming Peppa ;)
A kiss from granny and after while daddy takes trash downstairs and accompany granny to her car, I start cleanings. Momochan is already sleeping hard but I will need a couple of hours more to finish all.

Giorgia's birthday :)

This afternoon after kindergarden, Momochan has been invited to a birthday party from a friend inside kindergarden, location will be our preferred place Arcobaleno delle Favole.
At 16.00 PM I am going to take Momo as every day and a friend invited to the party too, will give us a lift in her car. Once arrived Momochan tells me that the decoration for carnival are still attached and present, I answer that as if it is Caneival during all week long it is normal that the park is still decorated. Inside no other kids except two, kindergarden kids have still to arrive and as it is tuesday the place is nearly empty and this is nice because the 10 kids invited have the park all for themselves and we moms can stay more relaxed :) The theme of the table is Smurfs and also the cake has a big Smurf in the middle and many others around. Kids start to run and jump around, Momochan is happy because she likes this place so much and recently we have been there already other two times :) Soon is already time for snack and kids are called through a loudspeaker to come in the reserved space. Momo takes a few pop corn and water and runs immediately away to play. Mum are talking and eating snacks meanwhile kids are running here and there, laughing, jumping, soon another hour is passed and is time to call kids to eat the cake. At the sound of the "happy birthday" music every kids looks up at the man who is entering the space where they they are sitting round the table, holding an enormous cake, 5 candles to blow :) Giorgia blows the candles and mommy starts to cut the slices. This time nearly every kid eats the cake or at leas they taste, when they were smaller cake was not even touched but now that everybody is 4 or 5, curiosity takes the best and Momochan also eats a big piece before running another time away :)

Time really fly, outside is dark and really cold, luckily another mom can give us a lift home, temperature is I guess around -4° degrees, soon we arrive home, Momochan take s a shower, I put her pijama and prepare a light dinner, she eats all happily and soon with her milk bottle she fall asleep :)

Greta's birthday :)

Today Momochan has been invited at a birthday party from a kindergarden friend, for the occasion while she was school I went to the nearest Ikea store to buy a present for the friend, a nice book about the story of a small hedgehog and his new friends.
When at 16.00 I went to take Momochan, the friend's mom was waiting for us to take us to the party because it was inside our town but quite far and with snow and by feet we would not have possibility to go. Once arrived while mommy was preparing inside for the party, Momochan and I played outside and builted a snowman :) Soon it was dark, cold and humid so we got inside while the other kids were arriving at the party.

blowing the bday candle

A girl payd for the occasion had games, makeup kids, music and dance and soap bubbles :) Momochan amused a lot, she also received a flying helium balloon to take home and once again we were lucky to find exactly someone who lives in the same building as us who took us home at 19.30. It was still snowing and once home I showered Momochan, changed her and put something hot and dry, then she said she was tired and wanted just milk, I was still full of sandwiches, cake and sweets so neither I prepared dinner for me. Momochan said she wanted to sleep in our bed instead of her room and I prepared another milk bottle for her (tomorrow we need to go supermaket with daddy for shopping, we need milk and other items).

Happy birthday Momochan !!!

As we are in the moving period and home is still to be cleaned and organized and also because I am really tired, we thought in advance to reserve a party for Momochan's bday this afternoon at Arcobaleno Delle Favole so today is also our first day of relax .... more or less .... This morning I awakened Momo taking my cellphone and making it sound "happy birthday to you" melody, I had also taken during the night two presents (a Lego game and a big Thomas The Train puzzle) on her little table ready to be opened. Momo thus opened her presents then I dressed her up to go kindergarden, I also took two cakes and fruit juices to let her celebrate with her class as usual inside kindergarden (kids and teacher make a crown and write the name of the b'day kid and the age of the celebrated kid). After having taken her to kindergarden I came home, to have a perfect day our house needed some more work invisible from Momo's eyes, the plumber had to come to connect sink, fawcett, washmashine and gas for cooktop, after which the house was a total disaster and I had again to clean around and wash the floor of entire home. In the meantime at 14.00 PM daddy (day free today) was going McDonalds to take some sandwich for us both and clean the car which because of the moving was totally dirty :( he came home, changed dress and runned to take the birthday cake. At 16.00 PM I went to take Momo from kindergarden to take her home and change dress for the party, take camera, the little presents for her friends and the gummy socks for the playground, daddy came just before 17.00 to take us all at the party ! All the day was a total run and the party also seemed to me like a run, kids went around jumping and playing, parents lokked around, then the organizers started to take beverages and snacks (the cake they would have brought at the table at 18.00 before the opening of the presents). I wanted to relax, took a coffee, talked a little around with every mum of Momo's friends around but seemed time was running too quick I was feeling strange and in a moment was already timme for the cake and the foto, every kid grouped at the table, sing a song, cake coming, Momochan blowing off the candle ! HURRAAAH !!! Happy birthday Momochan !!! Every kid this time eat a piece of cake (last year the cake was just tasted from the kids) and again they runned away to play, after a while they came back, Momochan had to open the presents, a doll, an interesting book, a pijama, a Hello Kitty kick scooter wich Momo was waiting since so much time and desired so much and again it was 19.00 time to go home, the playground was closing. Thanks to everybody and many kisses to everyone and we were home, granny was already waiting in front of the door, we went up and daddy followed with the presents. I assembled the kick scooter and Momochan started to go around the house while daddy went upstairs into the attic to take some dishes, pots and pans to cook dinner. Home is bigger now but some furniture lacks so as we until the last moment didn't have washmashine working, I could't fill the kitchen with tons of dusty items so we took everything upstairs and now we have to make a kind of treasure chest every time we need something, right now we do not know where pans have been placed :)
Anyway we succeeded in having quite a normal table and organize a quite normal dinner even if I wanted to make a cake and I had bought a bottle wine and a cake stamp but did not have any time to cook any cake.
Granny gave Momochan her last present, an enormous Ikea elephant wich sleeps on her little bed, Momo came in our bed to sleep when at 22.00 PM after having cleaned the kitchen we all went to bed totally tired.

mommy b'day :))

Today is mommy's b'day, Momochan in kindergarden will draw a beautiful cake all coloured with the help of the teacher :) Daddy yesterday night has arrived home with a cute bunch of white roses (he knows mommy doesn't like red ones) :))))) and this morning after having taken Momochan to kindergarden and having received her special birthday kiss, mommy and daddy have gone to the special coffee shop for a special b'day coffee :)) weather is not the best possible: it rains !!! but this year the best present ever, is ... the new house :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEEEEEE :))))))))))))))))))))))))

reserving the party :)

Since Momochan's birthday is very near and I will be very busy until two days before, I thought it would have best to go today at Arcobaleno delle Favole kid play land to make a reservation for Momochan's birthday.

She told me she wants the cake with Dokinchan (one of the Anpanman japanese characters) on it, when we arrived at the playland the girl said to me they have received the new party items and between them the novelty is Peppa Pig dishes, goblets and towels ! Momo was enthusiastic to have Peppa Pig dishes and while I was discussing organization for the party she went playing around :)
This playland is very comfortable, we can go everytime we want during the afternoon and have possibility to organize parties for many occasion, it's nice if you have few space at home or just do not want ten kids around your properties to mess up all around your house, also in this case I will be very tired because of the moving I hope to finish the 16th so that I can be a little fresh for Momo b'day :)

I just cannot wait the moment I will have finished moving, this year we have many things to organize, letter to Santa Claus togather with granny, decorating togather the new Xmas tree, organizing tons of new activities and games inside the new house, decorating Momochan new sleepingroom, organizing morning coffee with friends, deciding menus for Xmas, organizing bed and space for granny in Momo's bedroom so she can stay with us for Xmas period ...

Momochan is really happy about that and has understood this year her birthday will be the open door to a new little world, with the new house everything will be better now :)
