Okay, we actually bought just 1 set of pirate costume from
ELC. The girls took turns to wear so we could take some photos. This was what they wore actually.
Amazonia has 2 party rooms. They are both essentially the same, just in different colors, pink for the girls and blue for the boys. As we booked real early, we got the pink room for Kae of course. And there was a boy celebrating his birthday the same time slot too.
And the party soon went underway. With Kae's friends arriving one after another, I was finding it tough to remember all their names and their mummies' names! Argh! The kids had a blast playing at the playground but I didn't manage to take much pictures that day, having to entertain the parents and running after the girls. And that few photos taken at the playground didn't turn out well anyway.
I do not know if Kerri comprehended that it was Kae's birthday party. But she seemed a bit sad initially. Maybe because her friend Ashlyn had not arrived yet. But soon, she started to play happily at the toddler's play area.
After about 30 minutes of play, the kids were ushered into the party room and gathered around for another surprise. They get to be young Adam Scotts for 20 minutes with the
3D glow in the dark mini golf! The whole glow in the dark room was totally in sync with our pirate theme!
And it was cake cutting time! Of course we ordered the cake from
Pine Garden. I actually emailed them and asked if they had any pirate themed cake and they did! And I ordered the cake via email without having to go down the shop! Isn't the pirate cake ship pretty?
And it was such a challenge to get the kids together to take a great group photo.
And of course we need to have a family photo taken!
One thing about kids' parties is that the kids usually do not finish all their food! I had to keep an eye on Kae and made sure she ate her pasta and fries, else she would be hungry after the party.
And lastly, it was time to hand out the goody bags. Usually, parents like me would ask for RSVPs to parties and whether other siblings would be joining so we know the exact number of kids attending and be prepared to pay for the kids and the party loot bags. It is a form of courtesy ain't it? I shan't mention names, but there were 2 parents who brought along their other children without informing me even though I asked all parents 3 times if they would be bringing along their other kids along to join in the party. And 1 of the 2 parents actually brought 2 other siblings along! Seriously. Not even a word of thank you.
Hope you had a great party Kae!
