the birthday party
We celebrated Imran's first birthday last Sunday. Although I had a disaster with my three failed banana cakes (yes, 3!) the evening went on pretty smoohtly and everyone (I hope) had a nice time. The birthday boy surprisingly seemed to have enjoyed himself too, having his house decorated with strings of balloons and getting lots of attention (and presents!) But what made it so special was having his Dadi come all the way from Malaysia just to celebrate his big day with him. 7 days after her last chemo, I can't begin to tell how happy and proud I am of my mum to have made it here to share the big milestone with us.
Of course having Mum is also great in the food department! We made some chicken satays (for the first time of course..) and the peanut sauce was specially made by Imran's great grandma. We also had curry puffs, fried bihun and peanut butter sandwiches for the kids. Although I didn't manage the banana cake in the end, Imran's first birthday cake was a delicious chocolate fondant (which came from a box!) but hey, at least I still made it and decorated it myself!
We gave away goody bags which were handmade by Imran's Dadi, which to me was the most special part of the celebration. My only regret is not taking enough photos, but I'm sure the memories will be stored in my mind for a long time to come.
