Birthday parties

Luca has just turned 5! I don't know how to manage to make more than one party every year. This time, we had one with his friends from school and siblings, the second one at school with all of his classmates and teachers and today is the last one with all our Spanish speaking friends. So he has been celebrating all week long, he has also gotten 2 cakes and cupcakes. I have made the cakes for him, with fondant and I also made him a pinhata than is being recycled today for the second party out of school. You can imagine how much I have been working making sure the boy has fun all the way and reminding him how important it is that he is a big 5 year old boy!!! He sure is a happy one and he also makes me proud. During his first party, he greeting all his guests, even though he sees them every day, he escorted them to the basement and he let them have a piece of cake before him. I was impressed, he is a real gentleman, I guess those southern genes are there!!

Luca ya tiene 5 anhos! No se como me las apanho pero cada anho lo celebramos varias veces. Esta vez, tuvimos una fiesta con sus companheros del cole con sus hermanos, otra en el cole con todos sus companheros de clase y con las profesoras y la ultima con los amigos de habla hispana. Asi que ha estado celebrandolo toda la semana, ha tenido dos tartas y magdalenas. Le he hecho las tartas yo con fondant y tambien una pinhata que la voy a reciclar hoy en la segunda fiesta fuera del cole. Os podeis imaginar cuanto he estado trabajando asegurandome que el ninho se lo pase super y recordandole lo importante que es el ser un ninho grande de 5 anhos!!! Esta feliz y tambien hace que me sienta muy orgullosa de el. Durante la primera fiesta, saludo a cada uno de sus invitados segun llegaban, aunque los ve a dirario, los acompanho hasta el sotano y les ofrecio tarta a elllos antes que el. Me impresiono, es un caballero!, supongo que esos genes del sur estan ahi!!

I am proud of my latest cake, it is a pirate cake, I will post pictures of it after this last party today. I am getting better at this fondant business!!

Thank you to all of those who have greeted Luca (and myself) for this special day. We are sooo happy to be sooo lucky!! Happy weekend!!!

Estoy orgullosa de mi ultima tarta, es de pirata, pondre las fotos cuando acabe la fiesta de hoy. Me salen mejor estas tartas de fondant!!!

Gracias a todos lo que os habeis acordado y felicitado a Luca (y a mi) por este dia tan especial. Estamos muy contentos y nos sentimos muy afortunados!!! Feliz fin de semana!!
