It was one of his happiest birthday, since he never got the chance to invite big groups of friends before. We have always been moving around to different parts of the world and we never got the chance to know all the parents of his classmate to invite them to his birthday.
Finally this year we got him started to Kindergarten in Stockholm. He got along extremely well with all his classmate. 95% of his classmate managed to turn up even at the last minutes invitation and they had a whole lot of fun that day.
The actual day of his birthday falls on Monday 31st August 2009. It was celebrated with just the family members and since Jonas just flew back from Cairo with Peter the day before, he stayed in Stockholm just to join us for Gabriel birthday and left the next day back to Prague.
Gabriel was so happy when he opened up his presents and saw that he got Wii Mario Kart, Guitar Hero, Few Transformers toys, Flying plane with controller and a sweat shirt from Massimo Dutti.
We celebrated the 2nd Party on Saturday with all his classmate.
Peter booked the Bowling Alley for his party. It included; bowling for all kids, lunch, cakes, ice cream and Goodies were served for the all the children.
First of all when the kids arrived, we got them settled down by changing into bowling shoes and hanged their jacket in the room provided to us.
Later they were bought down to the bowling floor and were then explained the rules of the game. Since 90% of the kids are new to bowling and have never tried the game before, it is really fun to see them playing.
Once the kids are ready, they were group up into 4 different lane. We had 4 to 5 adult who helped them out the kids during the game.
Not only they have smaller and lighter ball for the kids, they have also made it easier for the kids by putting up a bumper on both side. Almost all kids manage to hit well. Some got their first strike and jumped up high to happiness.
It was not at all difficult to take care of 20 kids as they were all very well behaved, listened to what we have to say and just enjoyed their game.
After many rounds, they started complaining that they were hungry and we stop the game shortly after and went into the room where the lunch are prepared for the party.
All kids were served with Hamburger and French Fries. That is one thing simple with kids. They never demand for anything complicated which adult normally does. They were happy with just their food and juice.
After the food, Gabriel got excited to open up his presents and he could not wait any longer. So he went and asked me if he could open up his presents and we said yes since all kids have finishes up their food. They gathered around him and felt the same excitement as he was.
All we could hear was "woooöööo" "wahhhhhh" and "ahhhhhhhh" when they saw the present each time.
After all the unwrapping of presents, the kids were asked to go back into their seat again as we will be singing a birthday song for Gabriel.
Gabriel was asked to stand on his chair before hand. He felt so proud and was happy that all his friends were there with him. He made a comment at that moment that he was popular at that moment, which made most people laugh.
After the party end, Gabriel wanted his friend Gustaf to come home with us to play Wii and Mariah his mother was fine with it as she have made not further plan until the evening.
Gustaf and few other kids of our friends came to our house for a short visit.
