My first grandson is almost a teenager now
Just 3 days back my first grandson celebrated his 11th birthday. A day before his big day, he was busy trumpeting the event on our family chatroom, sending reminders about the day to come. Now this is somewhat unusual because , for the past few years ( taking away his baby years) it was an event that we the elders would be trumpeting to him on his actual day, which is the 25th February.
Normally we family do not put too much emphasis on it, like having a party or family dinners, or a birthday cake. Just a simple burst of birthday song on the facetime.
I remember one year his mother, my daughter decided to go a bit over the top. She decided on a ninja warrior theme. Being an avid sewing lady, she made the costume for her son. That was in 2016. So, all his cousins were invited and they had a memorable event .
So after that early trumpeting, both my husband and I decided to send a birthday cake
(restricted inter district movement still on) Initially we decided to order online from the cake shop. But I thought of my younger sister. She makes delicious cakes and pastries. It was a last minute order, the afternoon of the 24th. My sister was sweet enough to agree to bake one for him. She asked what cartoon character should she iced on the cake. I never have no idea! I think he has moved from that phase to games online.
So I was pleasantly surprised when she baked him a cake with the PS4 gaming remote theme. And of course when it was delivered to him he was over the moon!
I notice from the video that my daughter send to our chatroom, the looks on the younger siblings and perhaps their thoughts that were running through their mind. “ So, what kind of cake will I be getting from Tok Sam and Tok Wan Zek ? Can’t wait!”
So, here’s to another 6 cakes to go before the year 2021 ends. Sis Wan Fatimah @ Wan’s Dapur , stand by for the orders! This time around, I will try to remember to give you many days a head’s notice ya.
