The Birthday Party
We were overwhelmed at the party by blessings, generous gifts & tokens, smiles, laughters, and most impt of all, ur presence.... =)
I hope for those who have attended the b'day party, u had fun mingling, eating and pple watching... haha...
sorry no. 1 --> We apologise if we couldn't spend quality time with u at the party, as we have only 1 mouth each....heh heh
sorry no. 2 --> for those that we couldn't invite....but the list gets longer and longer that we got to chop at somewea.... =(
A Big Thank You to you who partcipate in putting the event in order and of cos the bits and pieces...taking pictures, videos, singing the birthday song, clapping, playing, eating....blar blar blar....u noe, without u, this party wouldn't have made it. It's true, and its from the bottom of our hearts.
So, before I forget...let me put the event down in words so that in many many more years to come, bbTara will recall what we have prepared for her on her special day. =)
Dear Baby,
Mommy had a wonderful sumptious lunch at Aunty Meow's church wedding, and the deep impression lasted till the day we decided to celebrate ur b'day, the big scale way. So, we decided to use the same caterer.
Was so blessed that Uncle Kirk agreed to dress up ur line of food! With see-thru beverage container, and three tiers pastry trays! Yeah! Though mommy and daddy didnt eat the line of food, but we were equally glad that many pple told us the food was awesome!
Daddy wanted to make a backdrop for u. But has no idea what to print. So, one day, the idea struck Mommy -- to make u a cover baby for a magazine! So, I got down to the artwork, and viola! We hope u like it like we did. =)
There were so many kiddos attending ur b'day party, and Daddy and Mommy wanted to give them a place to play. So we went thru the hassle to find u a pool which we filled up with colorful balls and balloons. Your frens had so much fun tossing the balls and jumping in & out! The adults could drop their kids in there, and proceed for food! How apt. There were remarks from frens saying 'how come there were noise but no children running around?'
And many frens love the cartoons on the wall, that they took it back when they left the party. =)
Besides all, Jiu Jiu came volunteered with making coffee for every guest possible! Mommy was so guilty bcos I forgot to ask him to fill his tummy first before he got down to work! How silly of me!!
Jiu Jiu ended up making 60 over cups of coffee yet having nothing to eat. =(
But, we made it up with giving him a treat a few days later.
Before the celebration, Mommy decided to plan the attire for our family, and viola! We were all dressed in pink, all matched with camouflage berms! And with that, Mommy decided to extend this creativity onto ur b'day cake!
Home baker Uncle William especially handmade the figurines for us (and it took him many days!). =)
As I noe I will be changing u into a brown dress for cake cutting, so this was what happen on top of a three-kg figure 1 cake.
Sorry baby, if u were expecting something fanciful, like a beautiful fondant cake, or tiered cake....but mommy and daddy think the traditional figure 1 will leave u a better impression when u grow up. We hope u like it, this cake is a gift from Yee Yee. =)
We were afraid that u will freak out when u saw the crowd standing in front of u, ready to sing u the song...but u pulled it off with smiles and cues that surprised us!
baby, look at the aunties and uncles that were there.....sharing our joy, celebrating with u as u turn 1 year old....these are all daddy and mommy's dear frens!
Two wet birthday kiss from us, Happy Birthday Darling!
Daddy is still trying to make u blow that candle....look at the smile and wink u had on ur face! u are so adorable in our eyes....
We cannot describe in words how major a milestone we have crossed with u as u turn 1, but baby, u brought us so much fun, tears, laughter, joy and of cos frustration sometimes thruout this twelve months, that we would never wanna trade with anything in the world.
You have matured into a toddler after this celebration, technically speaking, you are no longer a 'baby', but, like what ah gong and ah ma (s) always say 'you will always be the baby in daddy and mommy's eyes'.
Happy Birthday our Baby, may we be able to hold ur hands and complete the journey of parenthood so long as we all shall live.....
Love,
Mommy
