Eva's 2nd Birthday Party

Eva helped to pack party bags for the kids & blobs

Little Creatures in Balwyn is where we had Eva's 2nd birthday party.  It is a cosy play space with different sections of play - supermarket, a kitchen, library, tent, slide, costume dress up room, etc and they allow outside food so, between Evelyn (lola aka nana) and myself we catered the "adults food".  There was no official theme but we based the party on zoo animals as Eva loves her animals.

Besides the nasi lemak cake, I had individual boxes made up and used them as hand outs and must say it was a "sold out" item.  I saw some people stash 2-3 boxes for take out!  What a cheek cos the late comers missed out!!!

I was responsible for the jelly, buffalo wings, fruit platter, cheese/antipasto, nasi lemak, mini bite sized fancy desserts, vegetarian quiches and Evelyn baked the birthday cake, red velvet cupcakes, chocolate cakes, biscuits, aranchini balls and sausage rolls.  

Animals roam freely on the kiddies table!

All baked by Evelyn

Batman was at the party too!!!

We did not manage to have many photos of the birthday girl posing face to face with the camera, but she was "shy" and "overwhelmed" by the crowd! When asked if she had a good time - she replied "yeah"!

In a nutshell, it was a great cosy party with lots of food and the children had fun, so it was worth all the hours of preparation and  over all too soon and Eva is now officially 2 years old!!!

Bite your birthday cupcake!

Lola and Fred came round after work so we had a simple meal and blew out 2 candles on the little cupcakes.  Its official!!!  Terrible 2's???  We shall see if this myth is true.... 

Eva made buttermilk pancakes

Eva made fluffy buttermilk pancakes and we had a breakfast picnic on pohpoh's bed ... the "ice-cream cloth" laid on the bed belongs to Becky so its 36 years old!!!  When she was born, my mom (Eva's great grandmother) made this huge cushion cover for Becky.
