Happy 4th Birthday to Linda - An Interesting Story of Linda's Birthday

happy 4th birthday
Happy Birthday Dear Linda


I enjoy birthdays of little kids pretty much. It is though, a good enjoyment whenever there is a birthday party of whatever person with any age but enjoying at birthday events of cute kids is very delighting. Smiling faces with happy slogan and gestures make the party special with making elders joyous too.

Recently, on February 10th, we had to celebrate birthday of a friend's little 4 year kid Linda so we had to organize the party and everything to make it memorable. We went to the market bought birthday cake first as it was the first thing to do. 3 pound Blackforest, with a pasted writing 'Linda' on it. Instead of buying other party items we went back to home so keep the cake well aside and then go to market for further items.

There was a big list:

One 4 Number Candle and some other smaller candles
20 birthday caps as it was the number of expected kids guests
A pack of balloons
Ribbons of several colours
Patties
Chips
Bananas
Coke cans
and pizza (called and it was delivered to home)

That was all stuff to buy and get back to home and to make arrangement for the celebration.

Before the evening, we had to get everything to its place. Wrote a 'Happy Birthday Linda' message for her on the wall with the help of ribbons and tape. It is simple when you have one balloon to inflate with your mouth but when there is pack of 40 balloons and there are 4 guys including me, then it is a big deal.

Total balloons: 40
Total participants: 4
Balloon for each guy: 10

HMMMM.....It took all of my energy out. However, time was short and we had to somehow manage everything before the guests come. We tied balloons everywhere on the walls and ceiling and fans. Then started placing all food in trays and on table.

After setting up the table with full of patties, chips, bananas, pizza, cold drinks and finally the cake, it was mmmmmmmm watering my mouth. Yea, why won't it be..there were so delicious things on the table and now guests were coming. Kids were wandering around wearing the caps and waiting for the moment they could begin greeting Linda and then have rush to the feast.

Finally, it came and Linda cut the cake, blew out the candles and a round of clapping with chanting slogans "Happy Birthday Linda" a wonderful moment. Linda herself amazed, thrilled and delighted. Children around finding stools and chairs to climb it up and reach the balloons in their range to tear them up. What moments they were!

It is a real beauty of kids life when they are being greeted and celebrated their birthday with all their cousins, family and friends. Then kids gathered near the presents and Linda started opening one by one, wow, what beautiful presents she got. Toys, dresses, kindle and so many amazing gifts she received.

That day was lucky for Linda and now her friends were waiting now for their birthdays to come and they could enjoy it and receive such beautiful gifts.

It is wonderful to have a birthday party among the children, observing their cheerful gestures and smiley faces. You would love their happy faces and wish you bring this happiness for them always and always.

Celebrate Your Birthday with Family and Return The Due Favour To Them

It feels so amazing to see the day returning. To rejoice the next year of life thrills people when they see couple of friends, cousins, children swaying around and singing their birthday songs. When one is younger his birthday is regularly celebrated and he is waiting since a month before for the day to come and he may see throng of buddies around, all with happy smiling faces. All gathered just to observe his birthday. As the days pass and people are no longer a child, the passion toward it somehow is subdued. Even some people are so busy in their fast and furious lives that they do not remember their date of birth.

Some guys knowingly do not celebrate as they think that they have grown up now and it was the childhood when it was a fun to have it celebrated. Perhaps, they may remember birthdays of kids around them, sending cool text and cards for them and even surf some time online to buy birthday gifts for those kids. This is a fact that many of us grown mature think that celebrations are only for kids era, and it is over now.

Celebrating Birthday Party

On the contrary, there are people we delight in seeing that someone senior just celebrated his 60th birthday or even plus years. This is the sign of liveliness in those people and also a motivation for others who are busy everyday even on their birthdays. I have even seen old couples celebrating birthday of one of them, gorging cake pastries into either of mouths and then making eye contact with smiles on faces. That's the spirit, really impressive. Physically old but young hearted. And yet it is a fact that everyone has to see that age so why not living lively, grabbing and paying joys everywhere.

If those busy as bees people glance around, they will see many people attached to them, their parents, sisters, brothers, cousins and even may be wife and kids, are they not legitimate for some of their time. Won't they love to have a colourful evening with their brother or father to celebrate his returns of the day; they would. Its a day to come once in 365 not every week or month. Its a day to be with your own family, your loving people, your friends and your parents. The day to pay happiness, smiles, cheers to those who love you and it is a way to return the favour for their love by paying love to them. Always enjoy your birthday with family rather than prioritizing something else over it.

Have you seen any considerable birthday observation? share it.
