A Mouseriffic Party

Yup, the party theme is "Mickey Mouse". In advance, we'd gotten the bunting printed out and cut. On Friday night, I got it fixed to the string and with your help, daddy and I put it up near the kitchen.

On Saturday, we left you at home with strict instructions to nap by 3pm (Especially since you woke up a 7.30am to go to the market). Of course, you should still remember the "threat" so even before 3pm you were already asleep in your room. When we wanted to go out to pick up the cake and balloons, you had insisted that you wanted to go along. But after telling you that you had to take a nap and mummy and daddy had to go out to make sure your party was fun, you agreed to stay at home with Ah Ma.

Went to a shop to buy party favours, picked up your cake and headed to the balloon shop. We had ordered over 30 helium filled balloons in Mickey colours: black, read, gold and white. When the balloons were filled up, the lady helped us fit all the balloons into the back seat area of daddy's car and we headed home, driving carefully as daddy could not use the car's rear view mirror while driving.

The balloons all bunched up. And below is the balloons all arranged in the living room.

Got home to rest a little, put the finishing touches to the party favours for our guests and decorations. Soon it was time to get ready. You'd woken up all refreshed and rested. Had some tea-time snacks and soon it was time to get ready for the party. For once, we were all ready before our guests arrived. Daddy was already busy at the barbecue, starting to cook the food for everyone.

Soon our guests arrived and you had fun, keeping everyone entertained. Then when Kelvin arrived, you played with him. Managed to take a few pictures of our guests as daddy was too busy at the BBQ grill. Including one of you with your presents.

Mosts of our guests came in Mickey attire. Of course that included you in the yellow Mickey T-shirt which you had picked yourself for this special occassion. We also had a special guest that night. This is the first time you got to meet Mei Lee Ee-Poh. She was back from Australia for a few weeks. So she dropped by with Nanna to the party.

By the time we cut the cake and sang the birthday song, it was past 10pm. Everyone had a leisurely dinner and even daddy got to relax a bit after his "BBQ duty" was finally over. Here's the cake:

When everyone sang the birthday song, you also joined in and sang the song for yourself. The party continued with cakes, ice-cream potong and coconut jelly. By the time everyone left, it was close to 12 midnight. We did not open the presents that night except for one. I let you pick a present to open and you picked the present which was given by Ah Ma and Ah Kong.

After your shower and a book, you KOed almost immediately.

Countdown: 1 day to your birthday.
