Now that she is 5, she knew exactly what she wanted for her birthday cake and gave clear "instructions" to us on what to get. She said she wanted a Barbie doll princess cake with a rainbow coloured skirt and a diamond crown. We were very blessed to find a baker that could accommodate her exact request (it was a friend of Hubby's sister), and this was the result:
We just had a small celebration at my in law's place (as per her request again) as she wanted to celebrate with her cousins. The dress she is wearing was a present from Hubby's brother and his girlfriend, which she insisted on wearing at her party. Here she is in her new dress with some of her cousins:
Birthday girl with Mummy:
Heidi and her cousin Pei Zi; generally they tend to fight, so it was nice to get a "friendly" picture of them for once ;)
Food spread on the table, with the customary red birthday eggs:
Another picture of the cake, minus the diamond crown:
Mummy and her two girls (one more was sleeping):
And this was the highlight of the evening - the pinata! Hannah had told her father much earlier that she wanted a pinata for her birthday, but we totally forgot about it, until the afternoon before the party, she suddenly brought it up again. It was way too late to go and buy or order one, so Hubby had to DIY the pinata. So he somehow managed to put it together and we had a pinata! Bravo to Hubby for being able to pull this off at the very last minute!
Birthday girl got to take the first hit, and then all the other kids in turn.
Even Heidi had a turn, with Hubby's help and no blindfold as she didn't like it.
She was so excited, but I'm not very sure if she fully understood what all the excitement was about! Haha :)
Happy birthday to our dearest big girl and we hope that you will be a good example to your two little sisters. Mummy, Daddy, Heidi and Helene love you very much!
