E.S.C. 1st Birthday Party

Hi everyone, it has been a long time since I have a little moment of MEEEEEEEEEEE time...  A lot have happened since I wrote my last post.  Ethan, Skylar and Cedric (the beanies) have started part-time (transitional) daycare signifying Fion's maternity leave have come to an end.  I, on the other side, have started a new job back in November.  All of these happened in the mist of some crazy and major renovations in our new home.  Yet, I don't think our lives are any different to other first-time parents, we continue to strive and evolve with our beanies.  Perhaps, just a little busier and hand-tied.  ;)  

OK.  Let's jump right into the purpose of this post.  It's another notable milestone that needs celebrating as the beanies have turned ONE year old.  The party took place at a old library facility that rented through community center.

Morning preparation.  Please note their custom outfit in the sailor theme designed by Fion.  The sailor theme signified the importance of a sailor's attributes: imagination, self-discipline, selfishness, endurance, courage and teamwork.  Nonetheless, don't they looks superb cute in their outfits?

Cedric loves to say "Hi" to the camera

Cedric likes showing off his new shoes too!

E.S.C. in their bouncers - it has been such long time but they still love bouncing on them.

Afternoon preparation.  It was such a blessing to have so many friends and families to chip in and helped us out with decorations.  Below are the outcome of their hard work!  Thank you everyone who helped us out!!!  We really appreciate it.

Pretty sailor theme cupcakes

More cupcakes!!!

The Sailor theme won't be complete without a sail boat.

Hailey helped out with some finishing touches...

The head table is set!

A mini candy station for those with sweet tooth...  :D

There are so much candies that you can actually take some home to enjoy at a later time.

If you are not into sweets, there were plenty of drinks to satisfy your thirsts!

So, where were the beanies while we were so busy decorating???

Grandpa Wing helped keeping Skylar calm while we were busy setting up

Great grandpa and Cedric

Great grandma and Ethan

Then, here comes the party in action!  Note: Subjected to the unknown privacy preference from our guests, I will keep all arm's length guest's and their dependent's identities anonymous.  These pics are not shown in a any specific order as they are random shots.  So, please simply sit back and get a feel of our happiness and excitement covering every corner of the venue!  =D 































































These are all random pics of the party.  Here comes one of the highlights of the day.  The beanies' first taste to their cakes!

Ethan approached his cake with extreme skepticism

Nope...  He didn't appear to be enjoying it at all!!!

Skylar looked curious, but cautious...

Skylar's hurt face suggested that he didn't like it either...

Cedric didn't demonstrate any desire to his cake...

In fact, Cedric chose to take a safer choice and took a piece of marble cheese instead!

Here comes the group photos...



















Honorable mention:

All photos and editing credited to our event photographer Eric.  He certainly had done a fantastic job for us!  Much appreciated, Eric!!!

Thanks to all who attended and contributed to E.S.C.'s 1st Birthday Party.  We had such great time because of you all.  The beanies also received a lot of generous gifts...  


THANK YOU!!!
