House Warming Party - Pimp My Flat Postlude

After weeks of no new blog entries, here's the third one this week.

1 1/2 weeks ago we had our house warming party. It was a lot of fun. Started at 3 p.m and ended at 3 a.m. We were really exhausted but it was well worth it. The afternoon was filled with friends with kids. Esther and Knut came from Rostock with my godson Bosse, which was awesome as we haven't seen Esther and Knut since New Years Eve. All in all there were around 9 kids - noisy, funny, sassy and cute. The German saying "until one of them cries" (said when kids play overtired and "psyched") was fullfilled many many times this afternoon.

The same time as our party there was a street festival downstairs with live bands until midnight. They even let hundreds of balloons fly - which we were able to see from the terrace.

And...the ballons




Guests were coming and going all day - around 40 in total. We also got to know some of the neighbors, all very nice. One couple lived in the house before it was sold and then they bought their rented apartment. Another couple is doing the complete renovations to the apartment themselves, which is unbelievable. You should see the apartment: it's a gutted shell of a flat.

The afternoon crowd - the kids are hidden ;-)



A lot of Caipirinhas were consumed and a lot of wonderful presents were opened including a huge toolbox from my office - with lots of tools. So the times where Jim has to repair stuff with his Swiss army knife are over.

There are not that many pictures: we didn't take any - these are all from Frank. Thanks Frank!
