The Home Birthday 'Celebration'

Sunday

As we're keeping the celebration simple, I told hubby that we should at least get Renee a even nicer cake this time and so I've ordered a 2 tier-ed cake for her and co-incidentally, we both agreed with the same design, heee.

PC and family had arrived later than the time we're expecting everyone, the mahjong session(huh, is the occasion a celebration of a kid's b/day? aiya, it's like that for our family lah, lolz) had to start late and thus, ending later.

To my surprise, Renee had not requested to unwrap all her presents(although she did ask eventually, though not insistent, probably due to various urgings, lolz) except for one which she did and played with, the entire time whilst the rest, including myself(hey, though I've kinda pre-selected the gifts to prevent 'wastage' of gifts, I was also curious to see the presents but I have to control myself mah, lolz) looked on with anticipation, hahaha. It's a good thing though, else she would have a problem tearing herself away from the new toys to go to bed 'earlier'. :D.

When the mj session finally ended at around 9:30pm and after we've waved everyone goodbye at around 9:30pm, I quickly gave Renee her slice of bread and after a drink of water, got her brushed up and changed for bed(had planned to let her go to bed by latest 8:30pm). She must have been very tired herself 'cos she had already knocked out when I came out of my shower, lolz.

Thanks to everyone whom has came over and made Renee happy, :). Oh, she's agreed to wait til her actual birthday to unwrap the rest of her presents, so Li, Jo and Wayne, wanna come over and see? lolz.

The original design of this cake came with 'boyish' figurines but

they've kindly changed them to these, :)

We managed to 'save' up this

Her presents, all thanks to her doting aunts and cousins, :)

*A self reminder - must plan properly in advance for future gatherings at our place, to avoid the hassel of having to order and re-order of food(esp. those that comes in 'pieces', hahaha) due to 'shortage'(and prevent whatever that may arise from it...) , hahaha.
