Happy 1st Birthday!



Posted this on my personal blog and decided to share it here since it was Harvynna's first birthday party.

The party was held on the 16th of April as it was a Saturday. On her actual bday, we just bought a small cake from Strudels and packed some dinner from American Chillis. It was just the 3 of us - a simple celebration.

The party was on sat 16 april at the Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club. It was a fun party as the party was fun filled with activities for the kids. The kids had their own section downstairs while the adults were upstairs.

We had about 65 adults and 25 kids - basically everyone we invited turned up. Tried to limit to close friends and family. Got so hung up at the party that i forgot to take the mascot photos. Sigh! - one boo boo on my part. Other than that, it was great - Aladdin aka Mike was great. Pity, Harvynna was a little moody and did not allow anyone to carry her!

The video turned out well. When she views the video now, she looks like she is enjoying the party and dances to the songs and claps her hands. What a far cry from the actual day.

The cake was simply delivious and looked good. Kudos to Cecilia. It was a 3D teddy bear cake in pink. Another boo boo on my part, did not take a close up of the cake. Luckily, its in the video.

Spent a bomb on the gifts as well esp the teddy bears for the babies. Well, she only turns one once - so lets splurge.

Thanks to everyone that gave such wonderful presents. Harvynna really enjoys playing with them and not forgetting the cash that has gone into her bank account.

Childrens Birthday parties can be so much fun but stressful too esp when the birthday kid is not feeling up to it. I started planning for the party since she was 8 months old and couldnt help but get carried away sometimes. Luckily the party was held at an outside venue so there was no issue of cleaning up after the party. Still needed a week to recover after the party!



Harvynna..... Mummy and daddy love you very much and decided to give you a party you will never forget...Till the next year!
