Festa dos 3 Anos :: 3rd Birthday Party









Para a festa dos 3 anos do Rodrigo fiz um pequeno arraial aqui no nosso jardim. O tempo não estava nada de especial — se tivesse sido em Portugal, acho que nunca teria feito a festa lá fora, mas visto que estes kiwis são bastante mais resistentes ao vento e às temperaturas baixas do que nós portugueses, resolvi arriscar e acabei por não me arrepender. As crianças divertem-se sempre muito mais fora de casa, não acham?

O nosso jardim é a descer e tem vários patamares. No primeiro criei um recanto com colchões, almofadas, poufs, um tapete e alguns brinquedos e livros. No patamar seguinte coloquei duas mesas, uma com comida e a outra com bebidas (amanhã mostro-vos os comes e bebes em pormenor). As decorações de papel são todas portuguesas (as mesmas que usei quando fiz um Santo António dentro de casa, lembram-se?).

Foi uma festa bastante simples mas muito colorida, com tudo feito em casa conforme os gostos e pedidos do Rodrigo. Ele estava entusiasmadíssimo e fartou-se de ajudar, gostei imenso de assistir à alegria e ao empenho dele. Para o ano há mais!


Rodrigo's 3rd birthday party was a Portuguese-inspired garden party at home. The weather wasn't great — had this been in Portugal I would never had set up everything outside but since Kiwis are much more tolerant of wind and low temperatures than us Portuguese, I decided to risk it and I'm so glad I did. Children always have more fun outdoors, don't you think?

Our garden is on a slope and it has different levels. On the first level I created a sitting and playing area with a couple of mattresses, some cushions, bean bags, a rug and a few toys and books. On the next level I placed two tables with food and drinks (I'll tell you more about that tomorrow). The paper decorations are all Portuguese (the same ones I used when I once celebrated St. Anthony's day indoors, do you remember?).

It was a simple affair but a colourful one. I made everything according with Rodrigo's tastes and requests, he was so excited! He was so helpful, committed and happy, it was truly lovely to watch.

  4. Three years already!! It has been such a pleasure to watch via your blog the growth of Rodrigo and your family. He has taken on the look of "older brother" in that wonderful photo of him standing. Thank you so much for sharing his party with your cyber-fans.

Adoro os "improvisos" que fazes e como os adaptas e como uma simples coisinha se torna na maior coisa quando a usas (como as decos de festas populares que nunca achei mta piada mas aqui adorei!) Obrigada por me inspirares todos os dias ♥
