SOCCER THEMED PARTY

Labor of love. This best describes Arrons 6th birthday party. Everyone made an effort for Arrons birthday party wish.

  

Months before his birthday Arron had in his mind how he wanted his birthday to be like. The theme changed from mickey mouse adventure to a soccer ball themed party.  He assigned each one of us to a certain task for his party.  Nadine and I were in charge of the desserts.  After a thorough planning we decided to go for cupcakes, brownies, cookies, cake jars, fondue and lollipop cakes and of course candies and chocolates in our list for the desserts. Our next concern was how we would want our cupcakes to look like, how we going to make our soccer cookies, how and what flavors to serve and doubted ourselves if we can actually do them all at very limited time.  As planned we started baking three days before the party. So Thursday night we started baking the cookies. This one was no sweat.  Next day we couldn't figure out what to use for the cookies if to glaze or top it with fondue. We tried both and opted for fondue. So the whole day Thursday until Friday I was making and designing cookies with the fondue.  Yes it took some of our time. Friday night was a birthday dinner for the family. Coming home though was again continuation of work.  We stayed all night baking. We continued  the next day. Everyone was doing his/her task for Arrons party and we were all having fun doing the preparation.  Time was running and it seemed like we were not finishing a thing. By lunch time there was still a jar cake to do and the lollipop cakes was not forming like lollipops..funny right.  The invitation was at three afternoon.  One pm there were so much things to be done.  But then luck is on our side by 2:30 everything was set.

 

Guests started coming around this time.  Then the games for the kids started.  It was good to see that everyone is having fun.  After the games food was serve, the usual kids favorite spaghetti, chicken, and spring rolls on their plates and buffet snacks for the adults.   A soccer game was shown while they were in their tables.. It was a delight to see the friendship formed among Arron s pre school class. They were like in their own world busy talking, playing, running around with their happy faces.  This is why I can say that the party was a success.  I saw happy faces, 

contentment and guests smiling and laughing.  The last guest left around 9pm. 






















It was an awesome party..for my part it was a joy when Arron personally said his Thank you for helping him with his party.  Such a good boy.
