Another simple birthday celebration for our dear 1st born this year. We had wanted to give her a 'bigger' party to celebrate her 7th birthday with at least some of her new found friends but the lunar calendar doesn't allow us that... Her birthday this year falls on the CNY's eve! Even an invitation to own family pose a little problem hahaha. However, knowing how much she'd like to celebrate her birthday with her aunts, we decided to take up Elsie's suggestion, to join them at Li's place for the reunion steamboat dinner and we brought the cake along. We hadn't known that my elder sis and her children would be there as well(good to have more company) and were rather worried if the cake will be enough but luckily, they were too full from the dinner to consume much of the cake and we even get to bring back a portion, haha.
It's just as well we had not planned a big party, 'cos she had fallen ill to virus fever just days before her birthday and I caught it from her a couple of days later too! I even had to go into one of Li's rooms to rest before we began the cake cutting... When we got home, my temperature had shot up to 40.2 degrees...
This year, busy with the move, we didn't have the time to let her go find out what she'd like to have for her birthday presents and when her aunts asked, she had to choose something from the ToysRUs catalogue she's kept from the Christmas, awww... In the end, she didn't get exactly all that she's asked for but I guess she didn't mind, :)
The cake even came in a very nice matching box
