Kai turns one

On April 6, 2010 · 9 Comments · In Parenting

And so, our son turned one on Sun­day, accom­pa­nied by the aun­ties and uncles who love him and have show­ered him with so much affec­tion this past year.

Naomi fixed up most of the dec­o­ra­tions for the lit­tle tea-party, as well as most of the desserts, while we’re thank­ful we have a chef among our friends that whipped up the hot food. We’re exhausted but happy, and so is Kai.

Bring on tod­dler­hood and the ter­ri­ble twos!

One of the few things we bought instead of mak­ing — the Happy Birth­day garland


I printed the flags. Naomi made the Rice Krispy Treats, found the tem­plates for the flags, got a friend to design another, emailed them to me, and then glued them to toothpicks


The Birthday-Easter Goody Bag con­sisted of cup­cakes, other sug­ary treats and a set of home-made (i.e. Naomi-made) coasters


The cup­cakes — green because it’s Kai’s favourite color, and teal because it goes well on him.


We didn’t make these. Cad­bury did.


Irreg­u­lar shaped means they’re home-made


These were harder to cut out than expected


Naomi made these pretty pin­wheels a few weeks ago for the kids to bring home.


My sole con­tri­bu­tion — the salad


Hats off to Chef Ray Tan for the very good hot food selec­tion of bangers and mash and quesadillas


Marsh­mal­lows dipped in chocolate


The Birth­day Wish Board


The Photo-Garland wall con­sists of pic­tures of Kai from Day 1


The tis­sue pom poms were made in time thanks to friends who vol­un­teered — and who ended up mak­ing pom poms till 6am on the day of the party


Pretty buntings made thanks to the timely loan of a sewing machine and some nice fab­ric from Chinatown


Best birth­day ever, even if Kai won’t remem­ber it

    Hi Mr. Miyagi and Naomi,
    I love the pin­wheels. May I know now it is made? love the prints on the paper too!

    Pretty~ May i know where Naomi got the tem­plates for the flags?

    As soon as she man­ages to find it, I’ll put up the link.

    There are tem­plates for them on the net. Just find one you like the look of, and go get some nice paper — you can find some nice pat­terns in used christ­mas and birth­day present wrappers.
