Celebrations in the time of lockdown have actually been special in their own way. While we all get accustomed to what is being called the 'new normal', the biggest thing for me is that we have all found a way to make things happen. The dishes have been tweaked, gifts have taken on a new form, entertainment has gotten transformed. Wiithin the confines of home, we have discovered a new world.
Papa celebrated his birthday on April 13th when it was lockdown 1.0. Ira made him a card and helped Mamma put together a birthday special breakfast for him. Ira's biggest worry was whether there would be the birthday cake! And ofcourse there was, thanks to Baker by the night. Papa cut his keto cake and got a fabulous Italian keto loaf, while Ira also got a chocolate cake with ganache. Papa cooked dinner which comprised a special chicken curry for his girls.
A month and more and it was the lockdown 4.0. Mamma and Papa celebrated their 12th Anniversary. Thanks to some relaxations, Papa was able to go out and get chocolate cup cake for Ira and Mamma. We all cooked together, played games, went for a walk on the terrace in the evening with our black tea and some pakodas made with potato, onion and spinach. Ira through the day kept showeing us with hugs and kisses and wished us. This ofcourse followed a few thoughts about how her birthday should be the coming week. Our little one has begun dropping happy hints :) We also did some craft work that evening and made her current fave, Unicorn. Papa managed to arrange a surprise gift for Mamma- a wireless headphone that will help her with all her webinars and Ira tested it and said, it was awesome!
The day went by and we were grateful to be together at home and make the most of it! So, Happy 12 to us and to many more! Many more years of love, adventure, madness and surprises.
