Birthday celebrations began for Jonathan

Jon's birthday is on Tue but we decided to celebrate it early starting today.I went to a friend, Jennifer's place yesterday afternoon to bake Spider-man cupcakes. Thankfully she started earlier, so when I got to her place, we just had to bake two more batches before starting on the icing decor. The cup cake is of a vanilla flavour whilst the icing is made of cream cheese and a little fresh orange juice.

Why Spider-man? It's his fav character at the moment, altho he hasn't seen the cartoon or comic. It was just that I made a big deal of the Spidey PJs a friend gave, and from then on, it was Spider-man for him.

After worshipping and dropping Jon off at Sunday School class, Simon and I went to buy some fireworks candles, before going home to bring the cupcakes to Sunday School. And along the way, I saw some nice bag tags that I decided to buy to put into Jon's goody bags for his friends at nursery.
When we got to church, some of the older kids saw the cute Spidey figurine and wanted the cupcakes. I quickly made my way to Jon's class before the session ended. The kids were all so excited by the Spidey figurines. After lighting the candles, most of them were riveted to the short fireworks of 10secs, but two girls had to be carried coz they were so afraid. Jon, on the other hand, was so enthralled by the candles, he was beaming away!

After the celebration at Sunday School, we went home to pick Jill up before proceeding to a small restaurant for lunch. Jon's uncles and aunties came with their kids in tow, and it was a quick bite before the the kids didn't want to stay in their seats for long. Then out came cake #2, Spidey of course! But it's baked by a local bakery ya, not baked by me.


Here's Jon's first present from a friend, a fishing game from Aunty Jennifer. See how focused Jon was on the birthday cake, while the girls were checking out Jon's fishing game.

We decided to have the cake at home (so other people could take our seats for lunch and before the younger kids/baby have to take their afternoon nap). But Jon just couldn't wait. He dug right in!
