Today is an important day for K as well as for the hubs and myself. 3 years ago this date, we welcomed K into our lives and cliche as it sounds, she has definitely brought a lot of changes to our lives. 

Anyway, I wasn't too keen to put up a big birthday celebration and what was supposed to be one with friends ended up with us just having a celebration in school. Which I think would be more meaningful for her as she spends more time with her friends in school than with the children of our friends really. And being part of her classmates' birthday celebration, I'm certain she wanted 1 herself. 1 where her daddy and mummy is a part of and 1 where she can also give out goody bags to her friends and also 1 where she can have her share of happiness. Anyway, seeing so many of her friends celebrating their birthday in school, she has also requested to do like-wise. Besides, in the midst of our household move, it is so much easier for us to hold her birthday in school. Maybe next year, I may consider inviting friends over to our new home for a small celebration.

I started packing the little goody bags for her friends from last week and the stickers that I had ordered arrived on Tuesday. So I was able to finally tape up the bags with washi tape. Princess stickers for the girls and stickers from the movie 'Cars' for the boys. The teachers are not left out too. But instead of stickers, they get cute pens and a box of chocolates for the rest of the workers in the centre.
We ordered the cake for today since last week and allowed K to choose the cake she wanted. The choice was not surprising. In fact, another girl who celebrated her birthday today, there were altogether 3 birthday celebrations, also ordered the exact same cake!
The class teacher was so nice to take so many pictures for us. We sat with K while her friends sang the birthday song and then they all gathered behind us and we took a group photo. After K blew the candles, the children returned to their seats and started eating. K served her friends and she actually served her good friends first! Almost all the children from K's class had second helpings but I must say the cake was delish! When they were done eating, each child came up and K gave them the goody bags. It's quite cute really.

After all that, I changed K and we went off. As we were still early for the next surprise for her, we went window shopping and then to the club where we had invited Jeremy and family to join us. K was really surprised and she always loves to have them around. My brother bought her such a big lego set that costs over $100. 

She enjoyed herself so much today and can I say it again, baby, please don't grow up so fast..... :(
