Vien’s first birthday
Last Sunday afternoon, despite the heavy rains and the floods that inevitably follow a few minutes after, we went out to attend Vien’s first birthday party. If you can remember, my wife and her friend J. set up the event for Vien’s christening. In addition to decorating the place, she also made the cupcakes.
This time, though, she was just asked to make a whole cake made of fondant. Thank goodness! 
Making one cake proved to be quite a challenge. We stayed up until 4 AM. 
I was busy playing Warcraft in the bedroom, and she was making a mess in the kitchen! I did help cut out the stars though, which ate about 5 minutes of my game time. And from time to time, she would ask my opinion on something, so this is pretty much my thing too! 
And what kind of good husband would I be if I wouldn’t feature her work here, right? So join me in gawking at these delicious cakes! 
We brought Yuan with us. And he got to meet T2rad’s eight-month-old son Zach and of course the birthday boy, muscle-man Vien. As you can see, we weren’t able to get any decent picture of the boys together. 
Trisha’s months old son Phoenix was there too. Michelin Man cute! What is with the babies these days? They’re so big!
Anyway, Yuan had fun, as most of the kids did I’m sure. And that’s all that matters. It was very, very tiring looking out for a kid who just learned how to walk. But he had such a great time. Braving that rain was all worth it!
