leanne's fourth birthday celebration in school

 leanne asked for a chocolate ice cream cake and she got her wish :-)

 leanne and her best friend, rachel ho

 leanne with another of her favourite friend, justin.

he's a cute little fella

 and lucas who shares his snacks with her and gave her his sister's hair clip

mr s with another lucas in the foreground. this lucas kept asking mr s if he was the magic man. it was much later then we realized that justin just had his birthday celebration and his parents got in a magician to entertain the kids and hence lucas thought mr s was the magican too for  leanne's birthday celebration

 after the party, mrs s brought leanne to I12 katong to get her birthday presents: popping cooking!!!

 then we made our way to parkway parade to do a bit of art and craft

 and a barney ride....

 then we saw leanne's little cousin, brian, sitting in the crocodile hunter next to us!

 and finally home to do the popping cooking sushi set

 and of course tasting it.

 

hope you had a great day sweetie! lots of love from daddy and mommy.

leanne's fourth birthday

as we were busy with packing and planning the move to our new place, we didn't intend to celebrate leanne's birthday other than a simple celebration in school.
however, yee por was keen and even took leave from work so we decided to have a simple bbq at chuan terrace with the familly.

wondering if the cake would taste good...

 happy family pic

 enjoying her yummy strawberry shortcake

 gleefully checking out her birthday pressies

 happily posing with her first rockstar barbie from sam

playing with her little guests

 

thank you all for coming!

shoes and shades

leanne just rapidly piled on the shades onto her little face when she saw them on a rack. perhaps she knew i would stop her if she didn't do it fast enough.

  and same for the heels....

she's much better at it than mummy.

scoot scoot scoot

leanne had consistently only asked one present for christmas last year- a scooter...

she was so thrilled and started posing while waiting for ah ta to set it up for her.

and scoot scoot scoot, of she goes...

outings

still trying to catch up with the events over the last few months...

big group outings with the cousins and aunties...

home for christmas

the wait was long but the duration was short...
nevertheless, leanne was so happy to see her older cousins and yee mas. she has this natural affinity for them. she is always very shy with our friends regardless of the number of times they have met before and yet she took to her cousins the moment they step out of the airport arrival halls. maybe it's in the dna...

 playing her favourite poping cooking

 and the cookies decorations that sf yee ma bought  with her beloved 'gor gor' and 'jie jie'

school family day

this was the first family day organized by pat's schoolhouse. it was at the kid's explorer indoor play station in downtown east. it felt more like parents watching the kids play....

 waitng patiently for cookies making..
