We had our housewarming party last night, with great success. There were about 4o adults and 10 kids come to celebrate our new place with us. It started at 2pm, my family came over and we got the place ready by decorating and making snacks and platters of food. My neices and nephew enjoyed swimming in the pool and spa for a while then went to the park to play. Then all our friends came over for dinner and drinks on the rooftop terrace. It was lovely to have our party there in the open, with the city as the backdrop. Plus, it was a lovely evening, not too cold and not raining (we got a few drops at the end though). We had a wonderful barbeque on the roof, Uwe cooked prawns, steaks & sausages and we served up salads, coleslaw and bread rolls. The German beer went down well, everyone loved the Erdinger, Schoefferhofer and Loewenbraeu, they even loved drinking it from the Weiss beer glasses Uwe has. We then had fruit platters and cream cupcakes for dessert. Everyone enjoyed the food and the view from the roof.
Today was cleanup day. There were many glasses and dishes to clean, carpet and our new sofa needed to be cleaned (kids eating and drinking on the sofa didn't help). We filled at least one garabage bin of just beer glasses, amazing how much we all drank!!
We also got some wonderful gifts from everyone. My parents gave us dinnersets and cutlery, my sisters gave us serving platters, friends gave us plants, herb garden, glasses, ice cream bowls, salt and pepper mills, platters and bowls, cook books and much more. We were very lucky. We also received from one of Uwes friends our initials, U & L. They are lovely. Thanks to all our friends and family for coming, we had a wonderful day.
