Josiah turned 5 on 22 Oct and we celebrated his birthday with some of his pals at The City on 19 Oct. 

The birthday boy had decided on a Despicable Me birthday after he watched the movie, and also asked to have it at The City after he thoroughly enjoyed himself there earlier in the year. 

Overall I think the kids had a blast...so the effort & time spent on planning this was all worthwhile. 

Happy 5th birthday, our dearest dearest Josiah! Papa and Mummy love you very much :)

Minion goodie bags handmade with love by moi out of duct tape & a strip of sports band for the handle...
I wasn't able to find goodie bags that I liked, so when I came across this post, I thought I'll give it a shot. 12 rolls of yellow duct tape, 2.5 rolls of blue duct tape, 1 roll each of white, black and silver duct tape later, 31 minion bags were born...It took a whole lot longer than I thought it would...

Goggles for everyone, party hats & tattoos. 
Did the tattoos myself by printing on tattoo paper (bought from aliexpress). Tattoo paper isn't cheap but you get the exact design you want, and given the no. of tattoos you can squeeze on each sheet, it still works out to be quite a bit cheaper than buying it.

We catered our food from Petit Bowl, which was founded by the parents of one of Josiah's classmates, instead of taking The City's food option (Macs happy meal). The food was tasty and fresh, and I really enjoyed the food. Especially loved the prawn salad, which I was told was a brand new creation just for us as there haven't been any requests for salads.
