Daryl's 5th Birthday Celebration in School

We celebrated Daryl's 5th birthday in school today. To prepare his goodies bags, I stayed up late for the past 2 nights to pack them for his classmates & teachers.

For the teachers, I bought bags of Famous Amos cookies. However, I had forgotten to take a pic of them.

At about 2.30pm, we went to collect the cake & proceeded to Daryl's school. We reached the school at about 3pm. Kel went in with the birthday cake 1st while I stayed outside to take the goodies bags, the paper plates & forks & to lock the car. When I entered the school, I heard Dawn crying. I looked around for her & found her sitting in her chair crying while the teachers were trying to comfort her. It turns out that Dawn saw Kel entering the school with the cake & went up to Daryl's classroom which is on the 2nd floor without carrying her. Thus, she was very upset about it & started crying while calling for daddy. We had a good laugh about it. The teachers helped me to carry my stuff so that I can carry Dawn up to Daryl's classroom. By then, Kel had came down to find out why his princess is crying. When he knew why Dawn was crying, he quicky carried her in his arms. :p We then walked up to Daryl's classroom.

After the group pic taking, we sang Daryl the birthday song.

























Cutting the birthday cake























After he had 'cut' the cake, Teacher Joyce then helped him to cut the cake up. Teacher Dong & Teacher Jeannie then distributed the cakes to his classmates.

Dawn, me & Daryl












Teacher Dong with Dawn & Daryl. I feel that she really dotes on the both of them as she would specially buy presents for them on their birthdays. Even though they are not expensive, but it's the thought that counts.

When Daryl finished his cake, it's time for him to distribute the goodies bags to his classmates.



Seeing how happy he is distributing them, it makes the late nights worth it. However, I felt quite bad that I didn't prepare any goodies bags for the K2 kids as I didn't know that they would be joining in the celebrations. I made a mental note to myself that I would go back later & prepare for them. Then Daryl can pass it to them on Thu when he goes back to school.

We mingle around with the teachers & kids for a while before going home. I hope that Daryl & his classmates had a great time today!
