"It felt like I just finished a major exam!"

IT'S PARTY TIME!!!

The gurls loved posing for my camera and this was one of the pic which I thought was very cute!

Waiting for people to arrive.....

That's what I felt like when the party finally got going and everything went really well without any major hiccups. It had been a crazy hectic week of planning, buying, preparing, cooking, baking, managing and sorting etc. It all paid off and went really smoothly today. Strangely enough, despite the amount of stress and heaps of planning that were involved, I actually loved and enjoyed every moment of it. It felt like I found something a long lost love somehow.

It was a gorgeous day for it with a flock of 8 cockatoos feeding on the grass not far away from us. The sky was clear and the sun rays shone through the leafy trees and there was a constant light breeze which kept all of us cool on this sunny day. Everyone was in a relaxed mood, catching up with each other and simply enjoying this beautiful day. We had a huge thunderstorm a couple of days before this BBQ, so the creek was filled up and running and the grass was lush and green.

The Sausage men

While we slave our butts away, the old folks just chit chatted under the shady trees.

I never have to worry about Tashy going hungry 'cos her Meggy gu-gu always made sure she has something to eat and included in the kiddy group (which I thought was very sweet of her).

Birthday man and the cake with 69 mini chocolate muffins with cream cheese muffins and a red velvet cake to top it up to a big 70


This was the great highlight for the kids since the start of the BBQ. Most of them have a terrible sweet tooth and were eyeing at the flake, chocolate fingers and cupcakes especially. One of the flake and chocolate finger border around the cake actually went missing 'cos a sneaky little boy by the name of Gerald sneaked two pieces out of the cake when no one was watching. *tsk* tsk* "boys!!!"

The cake was really moist and had a deep chocolate taste which was a hit with everyone.

Though it was just a nice and simple gathering amongst the church, Hans enjoyed this day immersely being the centre of attention and having such a big crowd to celebrate his 70th birthday. The hard work that all of us put in beforehand had paid off indeed. =)
