Lil Man turns 1!

Had a very simple birthday celebration for my lil Alex on Sunday - just cake-cutting with the family. Fortunately I snapped quite a few photos before all the family members arrived because as usual, Alicia had a melt-down during cake-cutting and we couldn't get any proper family photos after that - a crying girl in the picture doesn't quite make the cut.

Anyway, this post is to share the joy that my lil man turned 1! 

The men in my life~!

My precious is 1!!

Giving him a tight squeeze!

My lil girl wanted me to take a photo of her!

A photo of the girls!

Erm, a supposedly artistic shot - but I love this photo v much! layered effect though a little blur

Giving the birthday boy the attention!

Our only family photo of the day without her crying

See?! She was sooo happy before the melt-down

After many tries, we obviously still failed

See little Miss Grouchy?

Never mind, mummy cuts the cake with Alex

There! The cake-cutting is over and the kids are off to play!

Hubby's birthday :)

Hubby's birthday's actually in June, but I've been sooo busy that I've not had the time to update my blog much...

Celebration at my mum's place a day before the actual day:

Celebrating Willa's birthday

My friends (Willa and Shuyi) came over today to visit and since it will be Willa's birthday in another 4 days, Shuyi and I arranged to have a surprise birthday celebration for her. We were both certain that April (Shuyi's daughter) and Alicia would enjoy the celebration (and the cake). :)

Well, true enough, the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves and so did the adults who were busy taking photos!

Alicia trying to hug Aunty Willa... :P

1/4kg cake from QBread

Perfect size for a small celebration!

Blowing out the candles (Alicia blew out one after I placed the cake on the table... I didn't even see how it happened... it just did)

Cutting the cake:

Alicia insisting on cutting the cake with Aunty Willa!

Look at Aunty Willa's sweet smile!

Yummy!

Let's dispense with the formalities and help ourselves!

Alicia's 2nd birthday! (Part II)

We had a birthday celebration for Alicia at my mum's place on Sat evening. She had a celebration in school in the late morning, came back home for lunch and bath and had her beauty sleep then went off for another celebration! :P She's been in high spirits since her birthday! It's sooo heartwarming for us to see her so happy and cheerful!

Here's her Classic D24 birthday cake from Emicakes:

We chose a panda face for her since it resembles Kungfu Panda :P

This time the Princess got to blow out her candles properly :)

Singing the birthday song with the 'singing birthday cake'

Yay!

Alicia's 2! :P

Alicia shares the same birth date as my cousin, so I ordered a set of cupcakes for him as well:

Blowing out his candles - 13 years old! :P

Cake-cutting

The durian's still frozen!

Mummy! Help to cut too!
