Big day for Little Monkie Boys

 

As promised the last time, the next post will be about the Monkie Boys. Here it is.

 

A few days ago, it was a big day for both of them... first day of school.

 

  

Little Monkie #1 has been waiting and waiting for the arrival of this day. Not only because he's going to be in SK and that his little bro is joining him for school, but it's also his birthday! Every other day, he would ask us "is September here yet?"... he also wanna a Ninjago cake.

Although we didn't throw him a party, however, did fill his day with Ninjagoes.

 

The night before, daddy decorated their room with streamers and banners. Also placed our present to him - the Ninjago Cole alarm clock. He actually likes Ninjago Jay better, but this sounds like a rare item and its alarm clock is way much $$$ than the others. He's fine with Cole, so let's stick with that :)

 

 

We had also prep'd him a few loot bags for his close friends at school. We slided in a couple coloring pages, apple juice and Pocky sticks... all in Ninjago theme.

 

 

Thanks to those who generously uploaded the templates onto Pinterest for free... phew... saved us a big time and $.

 

Of course, we surprised him with more Ninjas when he returned home from school. More streamers, birthday banner and Ninjago Jay balloons. Dinner was his fav food too.

 

 

As for his cake, I spent the longest time on getting ideas. Most Ninjago themed cakes are in heavy food coloring, which I don't prefer. So, let's do it myself.

 

2 minifigures - ordered from my co-worker's wife

Sponge cake - in order to save time, I bought a plain cheese cake from the bakery.

Filling and cream - got the ingredients from grocery and worked on it from scratch.

 

Finally, torched it for a bit before singing the birthday song and he's happy with his one of a kind Ninjago cake. Yay!

 

At the end of the day, daddy and mommy were exhausted from prep'g all these. It's actually lots of work. But he's happy, we're happy :)

 

Little Monkie #2 was excited too. He had placed his request while enjoying the cake... "he wanted the red Ninja, white Ninja and blue Ninja... that's it"...

 

Oh right..."that's it"... will see :P

 

PS - here's a closer look of the minifigures... it's cute... thanks Jenny!
