PINKYLEONA

 We are only 1 week away from Euseff's 4th Birthday and the preparations must all be finalized!

Let's hope we are all healthy, and the celebrations (at home & taska) will be smooth sailing..

The theme chosen this year is Toy Story

The preparations including :

1. Birthday Cake

I have been eye-ing on this 1 baker who did her cakes beautifully (but rather expensive), but then around end of Nov, my previous baker (who did my son's 1st birthday cake) suddenly moved to our city! I am sooo happy (to this day) when she agreed to make this toy story cake and fulfill my request. 

The inspo cake :

2. The Desserts (Cake Donuts)

Also been eye-ing this cake pop maker for so longggg, its finally time to book her! The donuts will be individually packed as doorgift, one for each student of Seff's age and all teachers (plus more for family and ourself!)

3. Backdrop & Balloons

A custom backdrop (soooo cheap, bought at shopee/local seller) already arrived early december and already hung for a few days to remove crease (arrived folded). Balloons are purchased more to be safe, they are pastel hues as opposed to the standard toy story party inspo online (or pinned on pinterest!)

We will be having a setup at home (photoshoot) before giving this to taska for another celebration..

4. Costume & Cowboy Hat

Woody costume also arrived early (December) and is already washed before the event. The costume came with a horribbly folded cowboy hat, so we bought another hat from a party store.

Wanted to have a little photoshoot but we'll see the results then

The party favors will be a simple one with toy story theme, including those cake donuts. For teachers, the goodie bags are also serve like a (pre)farewell pressies since we won't know what next year 2022 will be like. 

The teachers will receive shawl + Bath & Body Works body mist + donuts 🥰

The basic items bought :

So right now (T-1 week), I am writing all these to remind myself I covered pretty much all the basic arrangements needed for the party at home & taska

P.s. Seff wasn't born on December 27th, but the date 27th is requested by Taska due to a certain arrangements

Cannot wait for next week, until next post!

 On 30th October 2021, my mom is officially married and we are all now blended!

I fully supported the decision so that mom wouldn't be alone -companionship is what one is seeking at this life stage.. (while the children left house, established a work-life balance on their own)

Anyway, congratulations to my mom and welcome to our family, Abah! 

May you both be healthy, live happily and may this relationship lasts till Jannah!
