Leila's 4th Birthday

for the birthday girl

My daughter just turned 4. She didn't want a party the week before her birthday but days before, she started mentioning about having a birthday party with a few of her friends in school. That's how she drove me crazy during that time. I mean I couldn't possibly organize a birthday party given a limited time so I just brought red velvet cupcakes in school and she gave away loot bags to her classmates. She was so happy when we picked her up from school, it's as if she had a birthday party as well or maybe it was because of the birthday crown she was wearing. They make their own birthday crowns at the start of the school year making those birthday crowns more special.

Anyway, instead of eating out (that was our original plan) we opted to cook at home and invite a handful of our friends instead. It stressed me out a bit because I only had a couple of hours to prepare and we ended up inviting almost all of our friends. I just kept crossing my fingers and hoping that the food will be enough.

Never again will I throw an unplanned party! Or maybe I just need to loosen up a bit, LOL. And besides everything went well except that I couldn't sleep afterwards due to over fatigue. Remind me not to do that on my birthday. I would rather have a relaxing massage on my special day (keeping my fingers crossed again!)

Happy Birthday Leila! We love you very much ♥
