Arwen's 10th Birthday!!

21 October 2015. My baby is 10 years old!! My how time flies. I sometimes wish that you could remain small forever but that would be wrong. I love you sweetheart- to infinity and beyond.

My beloved Arwen Ayesha.

the part where you threw up on everything is so very true. :)

This year's birthday theme is Star Wars!

I baked muffins for you as your birthday was on a Wednesday and a haze-day holiday. The school was closed from Monday until Thursday. You said that was your birthday present!

Arwen and cast of Star Wars.

Since it was a holiday, after your tuition at Wondermilk, we went to Chili's in One Utama for a special meal.

Arwen and Mama. Thank you Allah.

What we ate.

Happy 9th birthday Arwen!

I can't believe you are 9 years old. You can't believe you are 9 years old. So this year we did not have a big party just because we already had one last year, so this year we were going low budget kind of celebration but I hope it was amazing all the same to you. I even managed to get a cool black and pink wall decoration just to get into that party mood.

We had a 2 part celebration. First we invited your 2 best buds for a play date at our house on 22 nov 2014. It was a Wednesday and it was a public holiday due to Deepavali. Your 2 best buds plus siblings. So Natasya came with Nadyne and Nessa while Azureen came with Arissa.

Happy 8th birthday my sweet darling daughter!

We had a party at home this year. We invited our big extended families and two of your friends - Natasya and Najya from school. We invited Anissa but she didn't come. We had fun. I became the host as well as the entertainer for the kids. Our the theme this year was the Minions!!!

Nadiah, Adam, Redza and Ya actually came for a sleepover the night before - which was fun and a wonderful treat for you!
