my ayden boiboi's 1st burpday party! ^_^

celebrated darling ayden's 1st birthday on 27th Mar 2011 (sunday), 1 week ahead of his actual birthday.. simply cos i was too late in making a booking at grassroots club and managed to secure the date & time only less than 2months prior to the party.. oops! bad habit lately actually.. procrastination.. tsk tsk..

anyway, i am sooooooooo glad it turned out fantastic (i hope??) despite the shorter preparation time! *wipes sweat* and the choice of venue was a good one, given dat the kids are around missy's age and can enjoy the playground better.. heehee.. nostalgia.. cos missy attended a 1st birthday bash with other October 2007 babies there too!

and the party was definitely a great one, all THANKS to the attendance of ALL WONDERFUL guests who turned up and who gave me so much face! heehee.. heartfelt thanks to these beautiful people who came for ayden's party despite the rain/traffic/bad timing on a sunday evening otherwise meant for the family.. muacks and hugs all! *so touched* (^_<)

1st up.. MY INVITE! couldn't resist using this funny pic.. he's changed so much since this pic was taken when he was 4 months old!

the party signage outside the playroom!


the balloon decor done up beautifully by Serene and the team @ BBOLS


theme of the party: JUNGLE SAFARI!!! ^_^

the very heartpain-inducing purchase... the $380 cake by Vivian .. and mind you, though i decided on the venue and everything else late, i actually placed the order for this cake once ayden was born cos she is always fully booked for a year straight!! beautiful creation but truth be told, my guests didn't reali enjoy the cake.. some said it was too dense and some said it was "undercooked".. =(

made a special request on the cake though.. i wanted specifically hippo (ME!), rhino (dear!), pig (ya.. i know not very jungle nor safari but it stands for missy!) and the tiger (for birthday boy!!) and i must say vivian did a great job of following very very closely to the pic that i have given her of the theme. check out the animals on the centrepiece next to the cake.. sama sama! =D

party packs and itz fillings! hope the kids liked it!
food food food from naked fish shoppe (erm.. wasn't given much choice by the club.. hur..) not too sure about the quality cos i didn't get to eat a single morsel! hahaha.. i was famished but overwhelmed by the lovely guests.. and! the fact that mister wee was getting so much attention and compliments on his newfound figure gave me a stomach upset.. LOL! kidding la.. proud of his weight loss.. just that i have to work doubly hard liao lor.. hurhurhur..
note the not-too-happy ayden's face.. ha! cos he was plucked off the playground for his photo-taking and cake-cutting la! and noticed he slimmed down? aiya.. not my macho-boy le.. no thanks to a fever he got on thursday prior to the party.. lucky he recovered in time for his BIG day!
my beautiful family.. with my dear clown aka missy who made everyone a wee-bit happier with her "还有weewee leh" speech right after we finish singing the birthday song to ayden.. ROFL!
cake-cutting was missing missy cos she was already somewhere out there stuck to an iphone.. hurhur..
with dear's family..
with my lovely family though there are lotsa "missing" persons!! aiyo!
the beautiful october mummies!
