Party Queens

My Bees are party queens. Because of them, our weekend schedules these days are always packed with parties. In August alone, we were out for parties almost every week. Having kids certainly quadrupled our social network!

Whenever I inform them that they are going for a party, they (especially Little Bee!) will then jump around excitedly and ask me when they can leave for the party. Then, they will happily choose their party outfits (Big Bee has become quite a stylist indeed!), mainly pretty dainty dresses, and set off for these social events. In the car, party queen Little Bee will inevitably grumble all the way, "So long (referring to the car ride). Where's party? *sulk* So far. Where's party? Reaching?" Listening to her rambling continuously is certainly no fun! 

Last Saturday, we were at S's Desiree's one month celebration. The Bees caught up with YL's and SC's kids and were so busy playing with them that I could really have a feast in peace! In the end, we brought the entire brood of boisterous youngsters to feed the many bursting fat koi fishes in Suntec, and we had great fun indeed.

Then, we set off for Chloe's 2nd birthday! Time passed fast indeed - I still remembered her one month party vividly! 

We can't wait to eat the cake!!! From left, Matt, Chloe, The Bees, Val, another unknown kid (to me)

The Bees had the wonderful chance to hobnob with their cousins and play with the multitudinous balloons, and truly relished singing the birthday song and eating the birthday cake! 

All the same height! Val, Little Bee, Chloe

Birthday parties are truly rituals and symbols of a happy childhood indeed! I guess as we grow up, all we really remember are these moments of fun get-togethers and the close friends and relatives who made them so memorable and fun, isn't it?  

The other parties they attended recently:

At Eugene's 9th alfresco birthday party: Claire and The Bees playing late into the night...

At Auntie Brianna's 8th birthday party, the 2 Bees were decked in full party gear! 

  

Big Bee ventured alone to her friend's Gabby's 7th birthday party! She's a big girl indeed!
