happy birthday to me and megan!

this is going to be a long post… let me touch on the decorations first. we were scratching our heads on where to hold megan’s first birthday celebration, and finally selected to have the celebration held at our place… and in order to make it not boring, we decided to give our place a face-lift… using some paper cuttings transforming boring walls to a colourful one…

printed out b&w photos of megan and put it up on a wall… and it looks cool…

and of course, some balloons…

and a banner right at the entrance…

and the party packs for the kids…

and over the past few days, megan is so interested in the new decorations we put up on the walls, and we constantly got to “megan, no!”

finally, its our birthday! and in the early morning, we went over to my parents’ place to pray to ancestor… and my parents prepared a little 捉周 session…

first, she took the calculator…

IMG_2594

then the pen…

IMG_2595

then the dictionary…

IMG_2597

i’m as confused as megan… as to why picking up 3 items instead of 1 neh?? and its some kind of ‘guided choice’ where my parents would somehow ‘point’ megan to the ‘right direction’ towards the calculator… hmmm…

anyway, time to reveal megan’s cake (that she choose herself)…

the guest book, that will go into megan’s scrapbook…

we actually intended to do a modern 捉周 session with our guests, but megan seems too overwhelmed by the eventful day and gets a little cranky… and so, we did the 捉周 session ‘behind closed door’ when everyone leaves for the day…

IMG_2670

and it seems, megan simply 捉 alot of items… in fact, almost all the items she go and take… <faint>

IMG_2673  IMG_2680

IMG_2682 IMG_2688

IMG_2689 IMG_2694

IMG_2696 IMG_2697

in the end, we concluded that the item she hold on to for the longest time will be the final item… and it turned out to be… the colour pencil! ok, an artist to be? creative nature?

and at the end of the day… the most exciting part is to unwrap the wonderful presents! look at megan, wondering whats inside this box…
