My baby is turning 6 tomorrow! Where did the time go? I still remember when we were waiting for her to come out (which she stubbornly refused until we had to eject her) and I even thought her birthday might fall on 29 Feb, the year she was born being a leap year. But she managed to escape celebrating her birthday every four years and what a glorious six years we’ve had with my first born.
This weekend was a Saitaoha birthday weekend starting with a family gathering on Saturday.
She chose both her cakes with this one being a chocolate custard cake, I was disappointed because I wanted her to choose a pandan one, but birthday girl gets to choose of course.
I told Saitaoha if COVID is really bad we might have to cancel her party but at least she will still get to celebrate with her cousins. She was pleased with that because they are her favourite people.
R and I spend half a day making these birthday cookies, we also had different coloured ones saying Saitaoha is 6 and Thank you cookies for her birthday party attendees. Quite pleased with how they turned out.
I’m glad the work year has started at a slower pace (or maybe I just haven’t allowed myself and won’t allow myself to let work consume my life again) because it meant I could better prepare for Saitaoha’s party. I have been gradually buying girly goodies for the goody bag, there’s even a bath bomb in there! The goody bag was very well received :).
Finally it was party day, Saitaoha’s first real birthday party with all her favourite school friends. We booked the pamper room at Crocs indoor playground, the outside area even had a tv for us to monitor the kids playing inside.
I thought it meant just a long table with staff helping the kids to have pedicures and manicures so was pleasantly surprised with this room!
Haha comes with superstar mirrors and lights and even pink robes! The girls were thrilled and so excited haha. To be honest I don’t think I would have liked this as a kid because I was quite a tomboy, but luckily my girls are unlike me and loved the pamper room.
Lemonade and mini cupcakes whilst getting your manicure, not bad hor.
Wedges and sandwiches with jelly cups to follow.
The princess sisters, Saitaomei loves blue colour and Saitaoha is a pink girl.
The birthday girl ❤️💜❤️💜❤️
Lucky we managed to take this picture before all the other little girls arrived.
Saitaoha and her manicure, hot pink nails of course!
Whereas this girl chose blue to match her dress.
Getting a foot bath after her manicure, then a pedicure afterwards.
Saitaoha and all her favourite girlfriends from school. They were all so cute and sweet little girls.
Thank goodness yee yee bought her some balloons which made the walls less empty.
Singing the birthday song and blowing candles, I was so happy that the little girl had a lovely celebration with her friends.
Her best friends the twins since kindy, they really are the best of friends!
Happy birthday my dearest Saitaoha, I hope you enjoyed your birthday celebrations and know how loved you are. At six, you love everything girly, sparkly and the colour pink, you like to roleplay, especially with your dolls, you love colouring and drawing and snacking. You are bright, sensitive, meticulous and very neat. You are mummy’s little helper and your sister’s hero. I don’t say this often enough my beautiful girl, but I love you to the moon and back.
