I remember visiting my good friend Wendy at her home a few days after she gave birth to little Royce. He was such a loooong baby boy. It seems like yesterday only.
And now he turns 1.
It’s a Mickey Mouse party!
The whole second floor of Gloria Maris is transformed into this happy, happy place
Birthday Cupcake Tower
Food carts of the day:
Krispy Kreme Fruits in Ice Cream
Pizza Pedrico’s Ok, it’s not food, but personalized stickers are cute!
I didn’t have breakfast this morning so I bring with me a very good excuse to eat some snacks before a proper lunch. I have:
Krispy Kreme Original Glazed And a mini Pepperoni Pizza
While the kids play games, put on glittery stickers and watch magic shows…
The adults eat, eat and eat
College buddies (clockwise from top left): Jacques, Mon, Karl, Jem, Sheila, Me, Alex, Sil
The food:
Birthday Noodles, of course!
Appetizer Platter, after half the table attacked it
Garlic Steamed Prawns
Fish and Tofu Soup?
Peking Duck
Hot Prawn Salad
Steamed Lapu-Lapu
Salt and Pepper Duck
Garlic Fried Crabs
I made plans to watch Thor at 2:30pm with the fatties so no dessert for me. Boo.
