Jayden Birthday preparation….

Speaking of Birthday… Jayden is just a few days away from his 5th Birthday. This year we decided to have just a very simple celebration at home, whereby we would only get a cake, instead of the yearly ordering of buffet.

So what about his school celebration??? All kids look forward to the school celebration! And so do Jayden!!!! So I decided to make a little more effort in Jayden school celebration as this is the 1st time that Jayden is celebrating in Hope Kindy, he was all excited about it. Beside getting a cake from Prima Deli, I have also prepare goodies bag filled with home-make cookies.

And I am so glad that my SIL can come over to help me with the cookies baking! :) It was quite tiring and took us almost 3hrs plus to complete the task of baking 100 cookies.

The kids were also ready to give us a helping hand… Cutting the shape and stamping the face. Up-close of the goodies bag – consisting of pooh, tigger and piglet shape butter cookies. Pack and all ready to go ----- for Jayden school celebration on Friday!!!!

P/S: Shufen, it is really nice of you to help me out today. Thanks alot!!!
