We celebrated Chiara 3rd birthday last week-end, with most of her friends. We wanted something cosy in our place – and invited 12 of her friends over for two hours. We had a military schedule to avoid house destruction, strict rules (everyone downstairs) and plenty of found to keep them in control.
Due to space restrictions, we invited parents to go over to the local pub to relax – but somehow the message was not understood loud and clear – and we ended with 12 kids, about 20 adults and a few babies – which stretched our place despite careful preparation.
Chiara had lots of fun, she was impressed to have everyone around, not too shy – and she was obviously trilled by all her presents, so thanks to all her friends for coming over !

Canon EOS 5D Mk III – EF 17-40mm f4 – ISO 250 – In the middle of the music activity … our new floor survived the activity pretty well, our ears a bit less – but at this point most adults had escaped to the kitchen or the garden already.
