Happy 3rd Birthday

We were thinking of whether to eat out or continue to have a family birthday party for Valerie's 3rd birthday. Since there were mommy's side and daddy's side to consider and which side would be celebrating with her on the actual day, we decided to throw another family party instead. No need to fight for which side getting to celebrate with her on actual day :P

We went around looking for a 'cute' birthday cake.
Turned out most famous cake franchises do not offer fanciful cake. They usually have those 'cartoon print-on cakes' or 3D cakes which were not what I wanted. So in the end we walked into one of those small cake shop and it seemed they are more creative / flexible with their cakes. We had to compromise on the flavours though.

The party turned out ok, nothing fanciful. We even dropped the idea of getting balloons due to not enough time although I think this is actually the age she would appreciate having balloons. Next time, no need to get balloons for 1st or 2nd birthday, too small to appreciate. Get balloons when the kids are 3 and above :P

Blow candles time!

Open pressies time. This year, she's better at opening presents


Toys.. toys and more toys...

Her favourite of the night - A Doll House. The minute she opened this one, she was engrossed with the figurines and furnitures. Barely saying bye bye to all the guests leaving.
