Craig is ONE - well, almost!

We leave for Malaysia in a few hours' for our Chinese New Year break but we wanted to post some highlights from Craig's first First Birthday party at home over the weekend. As we will not be in town on the actual day of his birthday, he skyped with his Nana in the morning.
Nana wishing the little buddy a Happy Birthday from halfway round the world:
On Sunday, we had a few close friends over plus my sister and her best pal who drove all the way from Malaysia to join in the celebration. Timed right after C's nap, he was fully charged for the event. As we decorated the living hall while he was napping, he was delighted to see the colorful streamers when he emerged from his room after snoozing. We refrained from balloons though as the little fellow has a love-hate relationship with them. He loves to watch them from afar but is terrified of them when they are close to him. Go figure!

He was thrilled with the company and the novelty of having so many people on his home turf. When the birthday cake was brought out, he did not know what to make of it! But I'm glad he loved the cake that his mommy baked and decorated with the help of his YiYi. More about the cake here. Here are some pictures (thanks, Lisa, for them!)
Craig loves his YiYi:
