Letters to my happy Suns - Celebrating Easter 2017, the long weekend

Yeah , you guys knew that the school holiday is here and so that brings the triumphant joy on your faces haha! As promised, mummy lined up this Easter with a few fun activities for you guys!

First, we started off our day with an impromptu brunch at Birds Of Feather , a hip cafe that serves fusion food along Amoy Street. 

Mummy loves the comtemporary avant-garde decor of this place, but the price of the food was more towards the expensive side. Dada wasn't prepared to pay $90+ for breakfast today...haha!

A quick picture outside the cafe with mummy.

Afternoon is the play-date with your buddies at a new indoor playground that we've never been before, Playkeroo. 

You guys are inseparable every time you met. It always remind me how much you all have grown and the increasing love you all have for each other. 

And next we hopped to another cafe called NOM, to have an early dinner, and also to have a quick first birthday celebration for Isaac, one of the new member that joined your "gang"! 

On the Easter Sunday, mummy planned to take you guys to Cafe Melba for their Easter's activity. It's a regret that they refused to take in any reservations and the queue was ridiculously long when we reached,so we skipped to the nearby La Barca cafe to have our brunch instead. They too offer some kids activity there too like the Easter egg painting! You guys wanted to join in the Easter egg hunt but sadly all the eggs had already been picked up by the other kids. Reagan, mummy watched how you and your didi Kyrian continue to search for the eggs around the park even though I've already told you guys that there were no more eggs left. You guys were determined to complete the task! I guess probably next year mummy will organised our own Easter Egg hunt ok?

That evening, you boys followed us to have ramen dinner with all your favorite uncles and aunties. I wonder why you guys can get so excited just to be around mummy and dada's friends and never fail to pester them to entertain you boys. 

When there's food, there's happy Kyrian!

Auntie Nic promised to get you boys chocolate and you both went gaga over her haha! It's so easy to bribe you guys.

and Reagan, you didn't hesitate to pick a Hershey's chocolate bar!

Lastly we end our night with ice-cream waffles for dessert!

That night, Reagan you asked me when is the next outing with all the uncles and aunties again and mummy knew that you and didi did have alot of fun today!

Reagan 5th Birthday - Superheros Baking Party at FIDGETS

Reagan is 5 ! So five times the cheekier , naughtier and LOVABLE now! This time, mummy made the decision to "outsource" his birthday party instead of organizing one at home like last year. And since Reagan enjoys baking, what is more fun than to have a baking session with all his friends?!

FIDGETS indoor playground was my choice because of its huge space, a cafe inside, and most importantly, it has a baking studio inside the playground. So I thought it'll be very suitable especially those who came with younger siblings. They can play at the playground while waiting for the older ones to complete their baking in the studio. I also like that the walls of the studio can be "seen through" which means parents can sit at the cafe table right outside and watch their kids bake while they have a good time catching up with the other parents over high tea snacks. Sounds so good right?

A month before the party, I made my way down to Fidgets to  check on the venue first. Then I approached the staff, filled up the form and paid a deposit. The rest of the details were finalized and communicated via email the week before the party.

Yes it was the fuss-free convenience that I'm actually paying for as well.

I also get to choose the theme that I want to have for the birthday party, and Reagan didn't hesitate to choose the Superhero theme of course.

That day all the kids arrived and were in high-spirits when putting on their chef hat and aprons. And of course all the excited parents start whipping out their cellphones. They definitely not going to give this photo opportunity a miss.

I was told that the suitable age for the baking activity was 4 years and above. However some of the kids were as young as 2+ and 3 , therefore I expected some chaos or probably half of the kids to leave the studio when they get bored. So we were all truly amazed that all of the children were able to complete the 2 hours baking session all by themselves! Marvelous! All mummies were beaming with so much pride that day.

I'm going to give credits to the instructors and staffs who took much effort to guide and motivate the kids , making the baking session as fun and entertaining as possible. 

During the cake-cutting segment, all the kids "transformed" into their superheros role! I made it "optional" for parents to decide if they want their kids to follow the theme. However it really touched me to know that some of the parents took time off their busy schedule just to buy, prepare or rent a superhero costume just for Reagan's birthday party . And look how awesomely cute their group photo is!!! All these photos are crucial parts of the kids' childhood memories! How many chances you get to dress as superheros with your friends?

Reagan was dressed as Superman and his younger brother Kyrian requested to be Batman. Therefore the birthday cake has to fit the theme! This round I ordered his cake from an online bakery called the SweetPerfection. It was also the same place that I ordered Reagan's 1st birthday cake back then. Both times the cakes arrived on time (in fact slightly earlier than expected timing), they didn't disappoint me with my customized design, and my guests feedbacked that the fondant was not too sweet and the chocolate tastes rich and good. 

As for our outfits, daddy wore a cartoon superman shirt and a black shirt with the Batman logo for me. 

The next highlight of the party, which is also what the kids are looking forward to...the MAGIC SHOW!

This is Fidget's in-house magician , Tricky Patrick!

Will I recommend Tricky Patrick?

 Absolutely yes!!! And you want to know why? 

Look at the photo below... that precious look on their faces.

Tricky Patrick's magic show is 30 minutes long....and he made all the kids (and even some of the adults) laughed hysterically throughout! Oh the kids ADORE him so much! And I like his professionalism and how he created photo opportunities for my photographer, by making my boy do these cute and funny poses.

So the next crucial question from my readers .......
