A big thank you to everyone for making this such a great party for him. He was a little apprehensive at first but was back to his old (if you can consider 1 year as old) self, laughing and smiling especially when he saw the cake. Just didn't think he should have kicked the cake though. Got his brand new shoes splatted with cream, and yes, he finally gets to wear shoes now that he's 1 year old!
I hope everyone had fun and the food was ok. We had a lot of left over food so I was worried everyone would be too full to eat the cake. I didn't relish having to eat leftovers from a 3 kg cake for the next few weeks but thank goodness the cake was almost completely finished! I think the chocolate and lychee double layer combo was a good choice.
We had a lot of leftover party packs for the kids too. Quite a few people were down with the flu and cancelled last minute, and three families didn't turn up too. That meant we had 5 kids fewer than expected so some of the not so young kids in their 30s got party packs. haha
Was definitely good to see some people whom I haven't seen in years turn up. That was definitely a pleasant surprise.
The condo could have done with more chairs but otherwise, its not such a bad place for a party. Nice big and airy hall.
Let's meet up again soon.
oh thank you very much for sharing !! No doubt it was a lovely party and the cake was certainly as beautiful as delicious ! ;-)

ReplyDeleteLiu! Thank you for the surprise! The overalls for baby was EXACTLY what we were thinking of buying Jeeyin for Chinese New Years! Hahaha. I've posted 2 pics of him in them. They go into the washing machine after this and will be kept until the 1st day of Chinese New Year to wear. :)

ReplyDeleteYes so cute! reminds me of my boys when they were one...they used to wear cute overalls too.. they are comfy and good for the boys who were forever roaming places.. used to wonder where they get their energy from. How time flies.. heartwarming memories. ◕‿◕
