Marrakesh's 4th Birthday Party

He was supposed to have his birthday party last year, for his 3rd birthday, as did his 2 older brothers, but many things happened circa his birthday, including my mom being unwell, so it was postponed to this year.

We were expecting 70 children with about 100 adults, and we knew we couldn't afford to have it at home, so we sought the help of friends at Sokmo The Cafe. It was hectic, what with puasa, raya, khenduris, weddings, etc., etc., and everything was a rush. But mommy and ayah went all out to make sure that Kekesh gets his overdue birthday party. Needless to say, with family and friends all turning up to make merry, the whole thing turned out just fab, Alhamdulillah :)

Mommy and Ayah did extensive legwork to get everything done, in less than 1 week : do the banner for the photography backdrop, to create the cool toolboxes as the party favors, to find exciting play stuff/activities and decorations to fit the party's "Bob The Builder" theme. Marrakesh had specifically requested for a Bob The Builder party, and it was no easy task to fulfill this wish as Bob The Builder is no longer in season! We went from KL to Shah Alam and then back to Shah Alam again, just to get his balloons! But, what to do, it was what Kekesh wanted :)

As for the wonderful birthday cake, Mommy had earlier asked Mamamin to make it for Kekesh. I told Min that Marrakesh loves yellow bulldozers, and she said that she'll make a Scoop cake for him, and a fab cake it was! The kids loved it, especially the gummies and the smarties/M&Ms around it!

During the party, Ayah was the official photographer, always on standby and ever ready to photograph each guest/family who comes in. And at the end of the party, the kids went home with a toolbox each and the families each got a special photograph with the party's backdrop, as a lasting memento.

JulesFudgyliciousness...CHEWIES!

Yyyuppedy! Hence the looooooooong time away from JulesMD... :)

Well, that, and all that came in between post Raya 2010, birthdays, weddings, holidays, passings, and all the ever challenging family matters.

Well, basically, JulesChewies is part of Jules' undying effort to continually excite family, friends and super cool loyal patrons, with something new and different. It will be the latest spinoff from JulesFudgyliciousness, and I'm thinking of labelling them as JulesOatmealChewies and JulesCinnamonChewies. Presentation and packaging are still at prototype, but, I hope this is enough info for now to tickle and wiggle you curious, hehe... :)

I hope to be able to reveal this before the end of October 2010, so please do stay tuned. Meantime, I shall be pumping in pix of most things that happened after Raya, slowly but surely, the whole of this coming week.

Thank you for your very kind patience and continued support towards everything Jules, I seriously do love you all! :)

Al-Fatihah...

...to Uncle Zamry, who left us late last night, he will indeed be missed...
