Annika turns 3; Liam turns 1 month

 Annika had her 3rd birthday party on the 20th July, together with Liam's one month baby shower.
She asked for an Angelina Ballerina cake so this is what Chris and I made!


Liam turned one month on the 21st July, so timing was perfect for the 2 of them to have a joint celebration.

We had the party at the function room by the pool and catered for the party. Instead of the usual tried and tested caterers we decided to try out a new one that belonged to a friend of a friend.

Not a good idea.

The food was not bad, but there was too much dessert and not enough mains. The amount of food provided was insufficient and I felt it didn't justify the cost.

We invited family and close friends ( mostly neighbours! ) for the party. I also got a balloonist and a face painter to come in to entertain the kids, and that was a hit. Worth every penny.

The only person who didn't have a swell time was the baby! He was fussy the entire time! I don't know if we even managed to get a picture of him not screaming! I guess the timing wasn't the best, since he's the grumpiest in the evenings.

In other news... I didn't even realize till someone told me: Liam shares Prince William's birthday, and Annika has the same birthday as the new royal baby!
