Happy Birthday my Precious Bibou


Bibou turned 4 this past October! How fast the time has gown by. Well, this year, the birthday girl told us who she wanted to invite for her birthday party! She had her own special friends that she wanted to invite from school. She was really all excited about it. She also wanted a princess theme (are we surprised at all????). So I went off and got all princess stuff for her; princess cups, plates, table cloth, goody bags, balloons, candles, pinetas etc etc etc. You name it, I got it. Man those Disney people sure know how to make a buck or two! I even got a big mixture of princesses stuff to go into the princess goody bags (princess address book, pencil etc). And of course, the invitations were princess invitations, which I then wrote the names of her guests with a glitter pen! She invited Clara, Noemi, Louise, Dan (of course!!) and Cherif (Arron couldn't make it). We also invited Emma and Kealan.







Of course the theme of the party was princess and we'd asked everyone to come as a princess (or prince / pirate). We got Bibou all dressed up and I even put some make-up on her, did the hair the way she liked it to be done, with her tiara on, and her special princess shoes (that I'd bought from Monsoon). Surprise surprise, all the girls came in a princess outfit! Though, with the exception of Kealan, the other boys didn't dress up.







We played a couple of games, most of which were 'alien' to the french kids! We started with pass the parcel, where I had hidden something in each 'pass'. the kids were super thrilled! Then we had 'gouter'. Cake time. The Molas' had wonderfully prepared another mickey mouse cake for Bibou's birthday cake (and made some cupcakes too!). The kids reached for the sweets of course and gobbled up the sweet drinks and candies!


The weather turned nice, so we shooed the kids out into the garden where there were even more games. Burst the balloon, musical chairs and also hit the pineta (unfortunately, we couldn't get a photo on time for that!). We finally opened presents and Bibou was totally spoilt for choice! And then the kids' parents came to bring their children home with their goody bags.



For Bibou's 'celebration' at school, I'd spent literally the whole day in the kitchen making a barbie cake. I had to amputate Barbie's legs though as she was too tall (or rather the cake was too 'short')! I was rather pleased with the buttercream as it was my first time doing it.... but i was sooo disappointed when I heard from Bibou that her teacher had told the kids not to eat the cream...cream was actually not allowed on cakes at school! Boo Hoo. Well, at least she allowed it to be on the cake while they sang the song and Bibou saw the cake.
