Erin’s 1st Birthday Party (Part 2)

Posted by Leah as Aussie Life, Erin Chloe, Family, One for the Piggy Bank, Pixies

Yesterday was a cold and dreary day. But that did not dampen our spirits, nor was there a need for us to use outdoor lighting to brighten up the place. The day has finally come for us to celebrate Erin’s first birthday with our family and friends here in the ACT.

Not everyone we invited came. We were expecting it as it was the long weekend and people may have already planned things way before we did. But inspite of that, the place was packed and I was actually sweating going around, entertaining our guests and tending to Erin.

As usual, the food was abundant. Thanks to my sister-in-law J, our extended family members Ninang E, M, A and E, plus our dear close friends R, W and C. A few other Filipino Canberrans (R, A, and M) brought in food to add to our menu. If not for these people, our party would not have been a success.

And what would a birthday be without a birthday cake? Erin had two yesterday — one vanilla-flavored with her favorite Huckle cat and Lowly Worm on top (courtesy of C) and one mocha-flavored (by M) which was equally delicious as well. R & W’s 12-year-old daughter K baked some lovely mini cupcakes, which the kids loved because they were small and easier to eat.

There were no games for the little kids. We were all soooo busy tending to our guests! Anyway, here’s the little girl with all of her pressies!
