Victor's first birthday party

Today is the day before Victor's birthday, so we invited some of his friends over.

The guestlist were:
Brendan & Michele
Conrad, Rita, Leo & Kate
Ian, Aidan, Brian & Carol
Brandon, Kaylee & Sherry
gu gu Leona & Antony

I told Victor we would have a party in his honour today, but he keep saying "hurray" followed by "Thomas & Lene". Last time we said hurray was when my older brother got married to his girl, and we tried to teach Victor to say it. I keep telling Victor that today the hurray is for him and not Thomas & Lene, not sure he really understood untill the cake arrived!

We had lots of food to start of the day, some home cooked and some special delivered from Mac D to 10th floor. I was afraid there wouldn't be enough. Husband made 4 chinese/taiwanese dishes and they were eaten in like 2 seconds!!! He is now known as The Bamboo King!
(it's really good and spicy, and it's one of my favorite dishes, but it's ONLY husband who can make it....of course.....)


After eating and kids runing around making lots of noise (laughter, screaming, singing and some more laughter), it was time for cake and presents. Victor looked so happy when the cake came and was placed in front of him. I had put more candles on the cake, so all the kids could help Victor blow. I had to lid them up again, since first time not all the kids were ready, but they liked it just as much as first time!!! :)

When opening presents each gift were recieved by joyfull outburst from pretty much all the kids, so we all knew the gifts were a good pick.
He got a big Thomas trainset (thanks guys!), music instruments (thanks guys!) and a cash register (thanks guys!) - and he will actually get two more presents tomorrow on his acutal birthday (but don't tell).










After playing for while, it was time to burn off some MORE energy (is that really possible!?) so we went downstairs at our playarea in the lobby. There's 3 slides and some hide & seak tunnels for the kids to play on. And all kids love that stuff and can spend hours after hours runing around, sliding, climing and jumping.


The party ended around 4.30 and we send them off by
givingeach kid a small party-favor-bag, something I had wrapped the night before containing a few snacks, note-pad and crayons.
I think it went well, but I might wanna hire someone to clean after next year!

Thanks to every little soul that was there today at our party today, it meant a lot and we wont forget - xie xie ni men
