Sister's 30th

Saturday was my sister's great day! Her 30th birthday! Actually her birthday is on the 24th but we did the big party one day later.

I was at Rita's place around 2 pm and we went to pick up the catering and to prepare the party cellar. Mum has brought 'billions' of cookies and three cakes and Rita has bought a party pretzel forming the numbers 3 and 0. She also asked some of her colleagues to do morsels and canapes. So we cooled the drinks and prepared the buffet.

The invitation told the people that the party will start at 7 pm but it took 15 more minutes for the first guest. So I took the time and painted a certificate for the first guest ;-)

We served the famos 'Vodka Melon' as welcome drinks and the next two hours most of the guests rushed in. Around 9 pm my sister opened the grand buffet.

Rita got presents and I drew beer, kept suplies coming to the buffet, polished off, cleaned glasses and dishes and was photographer for the evening.

As time goes by people started to dance, the mood arose and the volume was pumped up! Around 11.30 pm friends of mine (Wiesi, Tuechi, Peli, Max) rushed in and I served them beer and pushed them to eat someting (needless to say I had to recommend Mom's homemade W4 poppy seed cake)!

Around 3 am many of the guests started to leave but as always there is a bunch of people that continues drinking until the morning grows. With the dawn Rita and I started to clean up the location and to pack the things we will pick up and bring home during the afternoon. Went to bed at 8 am!

Successful party – especially organised for Rita!
