Dearest Little Skyler,
We had the first of what turned out to be several birthday parties for you today, Little Girl. Mama invited her former colleagues to our home for a Christmas-cum-Your First Birthday gathering today. :D We’d invited Aunty Doo Guat and her son, kor-kor Matthew, and Aunty Rachel and her son, kor-kor Isaac. They were particularly special to us because they had helped to take care of you before when both of us could not be around. We’d also invited Aunty Patsy and Uncle Han Chung’s family (you remember them don’t you - we’d gone to the zoo with them and che-che Nicole and kor-kor Ethan) but they couldn’t make it as che-che Nicole was unwell.
It was raining quite heavily today but both aunties still took the trouble to come. And even though they couldn’t make it for the gathering as they had to care for che-che Nicole, Uncle Han Chung still came later in the evening bearing gifts for you and the other little ones! They love you so much!

We had prepared ham and cheese sandwiches for snacks and Papa walked out to get some heavier food for our dinner. Aunty Doo Guat arrived with kor-kor Matthew as Papa was leaving and Papa met Aunty Rachel and kor-kor Isaac on my way back. :D

After Papa got back, we laid out the food. Then Mama and the aunties caught up with each other while the kor-kors and you played. :D It was only after we had eaten that Uncle Han Chung came with their gifts. He could not stay as he had to get home to help care for che-che Nicole.
We then got out your first birthday cake and everyone sang you the Happy Birthday song and Mama helped you blow out the candle and cut the cake.
You were so tired out by then, Little One, that you went to bed quite immediately after our friends had left for home.
Happy Birthday in advance, Skyler. :D
We love you!
Mama and Papa
