ailema feliciano: Mum's Pre Birthday Celebration

Whilst having my dinner party with my two gorgeous girls Darlene and Donna, my mum told us that she wanted a birthday party for herself as she hasn't experienced "blowing candles" on a birthday cake before. She is turning 53. Poor mum. I, being the eldest, took this as a challenge(like Barney would say, Challenge accepted. LOL). I asked her for the party theme, she said she had no idea. She suggested Christmas. I told her that it is her birthday and it's not a Christmas Party. I know that my mum loves flowers and I want her to wear coloured clothes(she is the black and white type) so I emailed everyone to come in coloured clothes. I chose the shabby chic theme. I am feeling Cath Kidston, Emma Bridgewater and Rachel Ashwell. The colour scheme is very subtle and I can use lots and lots of flowers.

I am glad to report that everything went apart from people arriving late. I am a controlling b*tch and I feel uncomfortable with people not arriving on time. Plus my friends had to wait for an hour before they were able to eat. On the plus side, I am happy that everyone was very helpful. I emailed everyone asking if they can bring food. Most of them responded with Yes. I've never seen my nuclear family entertain people before so this is like a first for us. I was a bit annoyed in the beginning as I don't know what to do(controlling b*tch alert!) but I was able to relax after drinking. No wonder people drink wine or champagne when entertaining a big group of people. I now know how it feels like. :P

To everyone who come last night, Big thanks to you all! It made my mum happy. She now had a video of her blowing the candle. Thanks for celebrating the big day with us. Mum turns 53 on the 24th of December. Another celebration perhaps? :P
