Aidan's first birthday



Finally had some time to write this post and upload the pictures. First birthday! Kind Aunty Lena offered to host this event at her place. The kids had a great time (I hope!) So did I, albeit it was really tiring! So thank you Aunty Lena and Uncle Ernest!
I wanted it to be more like a children's party so I invited mainly families. There were 28 adults and 14 kids!

Didn't know that a child's party on such a small scale could cost so much money! In future years, we'll have to be much more careful or we might just do away with a party altogether!

For parents planning a party soon, this cost breakdown might prove to be helpful.

Catering + Function room =$600

Mini eclairs + cream puffs + Cake= $170

Toy rental/Winnie the pooh slide= $100

14 personalized party packs for kids + some room deco = $100

Balloons = $100

Total damage = MORE THAN $1k!!!! *faints*
