Today, we had the first celebration for little Mae's first birthday. It was with Fuzzy's side of the family, 50 strong. I love occasions like this because it allows me to catch up with all our lovely aunts and uncles that we don't see so often. And Chubbs absolutely enjoys playing with every one of them.
Although Mae got tired just as the party started, she hung in there to enjoy her birthday song, Chubbs helped to blow her candle out, and she even had a slice of cake! It was a lovely red velvet cake that was coloured with beetroot juice, and she really likes beetroot. Afterwhich, I gave her her bath, nursed her, and she fell fast asleep while the adults carried on with the party.
In all, the kids enjoyed themselves, the adults enjoyed playing with the kids, and we appreciated the family's love for our children. We dearly missed the kids' Yee Sook Gong and Grandaunty Jan (in Vancouver), Sam Sook (in Melbourne), Aunty Jean (in NY) and Aunty Katie (in Vancouver Island) though :( Maybe next year we'll have everyone together.
