Today is my sister's birthday. Every year we will celebrate it without fail, no matter how late it is. This year is the same case as well. Since she was hitting a important age of her life, we decided to make it a huge celebration.
First we went to a buffet caterer to cater a buffet for her birthday. We also had to invite every single one of our family members, grandmother and all, the list goes on and on. My family and i did this one day before the birthday so that we did not have to rush everything tomorrow.
Since my sister was working the very next day,which is coincidentally her birthday, my family and i took the opportunity to decorate and fuss up the house before she came back home from work. We placed happy birthday cards on the walls and streamers on the doors and pasted balloons everywhere. Of course not forgetting the most important cake which we decided to order about an hour before she came so as it is just in time for the celebration, and also to keep the cake as fresh as possible.
After calculating the time needed for her to get back, we armed ourselves with poppers at the door. We did that at about 8.30 , an estimated one hour for her to get back home from work.Just at that moment we heard a "clip clop" sound. Thinking it was a false alarm we just went on with doing our stuff. However a few seconds later, we heard the swinging of the metal gate! Knowing it was my sister, we got ready. At the moment she turned on the lights, we fired like never before. A surprised sister with streamers all over her greeted us. At that moment we took out the birthday cake with candles and started to sing her a birthday song. Still shocked she blew out the candles and said a big thank you to all of us. As she went in she marvelled at the decorations with tears streaming down her face ,she said that she thought we forgot her birthday. Then we explained to her everything. After the whole celebration and cake eating session, i left my parents to be left alone with her and came into my room to write this blog.
In conclusion i feel that family bonding is very important and i hope to have such happy occasions next time.
Here is a video that is about how to set up for a birthday bash, some of my ideas came from there too.
