Elliot's 4th birthday party: To Infinity and Beyond

 

I'm so proud of my Toy Story themed dessert table!

It was done with a lot of planning to cut down on the costs, super easy to set up and yet still look presentable. Blue macarons, proudly baked by my sister after many failed attempts. Thanks sis!

OK, here's a quick list of things I did/ materials used for the above setup.

 

1) Backdrop was taped with many blue vanguard sheets and pasted with many clouds cut out from white paper. Yes, it's supposed to look like Andy's room wallpaper in the movie.

2) Toy Story plastic table cover (cannot remember price) and Buzz Light year cupcake stand ($5) got at super discount at Spotlight

3) Borrowed two tier plates from my sister

4) Bought 4 square plates from Daiso

5) And a white fleece blanket from long ago, taped on some black spots to make it look like cow prints. (Yay, no need to buy cow print cloth!)

6) Existing white round plates from the kitchen

7) Use boxes for elevation

8) Oh yah and I printed out some Toy Story characters, cut out and attached to toothpicks to use as decorative flags. Just anyhow stick them on the food!

 

 

2.5kg ice cream cake from Swensens, Sticky chewy chocolate and Cookies n cream.

Design was specially picked by Elliot.

 

 We had mango crepe cake, portuguese egg tarts, eclairs, chicken pies, apple strudels, tiramisu, homemade macarons and longan jelly

 

Birthday boy needs to get ready now... Guests are coming.

 

 

First to arrive was his Grand-aunt Lydia

 

This was taken after the party as Leah missed out all the photo-taking fun because she was so tired and slept for so long! How can right? Korkor's birthday you know!!!

So I put them together again when the guests left and took a few photos for memory sake.

 

My dear little Buzz Lightyear and Jessie

Sentosa Larkhill Terrace: Elliot's surprise birthday party

Cake from Prima Deli

The birthday boy chose this because of the strawberries.

He's such a strawberry fan.

 

 

Decorated the room a little with a banner and balloons from Mustafa.

 

His birthday present from us.

We bought him story books because he simply has too many toys.

And we got him the Maisy series which he adores.

 

Let the party begins!

 

 

 

 

Happy birthday to you our dear little boy :)

 

You hold a special place in our hearts from the day you were born.

You were such a easy baby to care for, you started sleeping through the night from 7 months old with no whatsoever sleep training. You latched so well and we bonded through our breastfeeding journey for 13 months until one day we decided to switch you to bottle and formula. And you did it without any fuss, my super baby!

 

Your first crawl, first steps, first words, your first vaccination and even your first day in school... All these are precious memories to me. You were the little brave boy who seldom whine when you were sick, and when we didn't buy you the toy you were eyeing, you feel upset but continues walking. But all it takes is a little hug and a gummy bear treat from mommy to fix your day right again. You are a cheerful and smiley boy who loves affection, making new friends and saying hi & bye to random strangers. Thank you Elliot for your miracles, I thank God for gifting you to us and here mommy wanna wish you again, the happiest birthday.
