4th Birthday
How time does fly, William is 4 years old now.
Still feel like yesterday when I used to cuddle him as a baby...

He is big enough to appreciate a birthday party now. Therefore, we decided to hold a small birthday party for him in McDonald this year.
*
It's very convenient to hold a party in McDonald restaurant. All we need to do is to fix the date and time, pay HKD200 as deposit, then the restaurant will arrange everything from foods / drinks, small gifts to games activities. All we need to do is just to distribute the invitation cards that McDonald had provided and ordered a cake with discounted coupon.
We only invited William's class mates and some friends' kid to the party. We want to make sure all the little friends who came know one another well. And for the parents, they have topics in common to talk about too.
At 5.30pm, the guests started to show up.
The children like this balloon-doll very much. They threw and kicked it like a ball instead. Luckily it won't break and hurt anything.
He was checking the birthday cards...
and the presents as well...And I have to keep all of them safe for him.
Basically, a kid's birthday party is all about eating and playing.
Apparently, the children didn't eat fast food a long time. They enjoyed eating the foods very much.
After the 1st round eating, it's time to play together. This game required 1 kid to pair with 1 adult to perform the tasks that were asked to do.
The game is very easy. For example, each pair was asked to do elbow-touch-elbow.
buttock-touch-buttock
oh, how sweet.
During the short break, this little boy and his mommy got to leave early.
Some kids came late, just in time to join the 2nd round games.
This game is more complicated. I didn't pay much attention on how to play it. I was too busy to capture their cute moments.
The children were very co-operative though. No body ran away in the middle of the game.
They just got to pay attention to what was told. Otherwise, they would lose.
Seem like some kids got it, but some didn't.
Ok, time for the traditional session, blow-and-cut the cake.
Of course the birthday boy had to be seated in the center.
Suddenly I realized how good is that McDonald 姐姐. She got that kind of 'super power' to make the children focus and listen to everything she said.
She asked them to make different silly faces to the camera, and they followed...
He was asked to close his eyes and made a wish. I'm not sure if he understand what a wish means? Anyway, he did whatever McDonald 姐姐 asked him to do.
The 4 of us are like superstar. 2 cameras were pointing at us at the same time. First, we have to look at the McDonald's instant camera. 
Then we turned to the other camera who serve as a backup. I like both of the photos. It's not easy to take nice family photo like this 2.
Hello, when can I eat the cake?
While another McDonald 姐姐 cut the cake in pieces to distribute to the guests, William need to return some small gift to his friends too. Boy, they really line up to get the free gift. How well behave !! Shameful for the adults who didn't.
The 2nd round eating was mostly to consume the cake as much as they can. The cake was 3 pounds big. Considering only 40% of the people show up in the party, the cake was a bit too big.
Amazing, see how much foods these kids can eat... 
After eating full, it's their free activity time. We just let them played around until the time was about to over at 7.30pm. 
This balloon-doll is not a FOC gift nor part of the decoration, but cost me extra HK20. I think it's quite expensive, but since all the kids like it so much, that's ok then. 
Special thanks to this McDonald 姐姐. She deserved the credits for making this party a lively and joyful one.
We brought home this card, presented by MD restuarant.
and those presents too. William and his brother tear the wrapping paper in lighting speed. Sigh, they should just wrapped the presents with newspaper.
*The birthday party didn't cost a bomb. So, I think it's pretty worth it.
