It has been several years my beloved friend of mine going through her journey to conceive and after all the ups and downs, full of tears yet combined with her faith and perseverance, my friend and her husband successfully has a child. Nathaniel, you are such precious boy. And one year had passed since his birth, what a joy to celebrate his birthday.
Happy Blessed 1st birthday, Nathaniel!
I remembered meeting up with my friend, gearing up my courage after all the prayers done, to tell her to opt for IVF journey. It wasn't easy to say that out of my mouth considering we also wanted to join faith with her that she would conceive naturally. However, the Lord spoke to me and said that I could tell her the option. Thankfully, she was actually also contemplating this option and my encouragement to her was a confirmation. The first trial of IVF was a success, albeit all the ordeals. Great job to my friend and her husband. Such courageous couple. Hugs to them.
They hosted the birthday celebration here!

Loving the place so so so much. And a wonderful and friendly owners, which are also friends of my husband and my brother-in-law. Such brilliant chefs yet so humble and kind.
I walked around the place to admire all the valuable paintings which were hung there, also there are for sale should there be any interested buyer.
All the decorations done by my friend's besties peers. Kudos to all these friends who always support her day in and day out. They are gems.
Awesome food spread too!
We had such awesome food spread, curated by my friend and the food was prepared by Miss Ellie Tea House (just below La Panè), also the owner of La Panè Pizza. We had cheesy 'lasagna-like' pasta with mushrooms, salad, roasted chicken roll with herbs, lamb pastry and raspberry cream puffs and free flow homemade lemonade.
We even could order coffee, and would be prepared by the main chef himself. Yay!
After having all the awesome food, we were served scones as well. Miss Ellie Tea House is famous for their hospitality and delicious food and cakes. Indeed, we felt like dining at a 5-star hotel.
All the adults and children got to mingle around, we were having so much fun. Literally happy faces and happy food, just like all the smiley balloons in the midst.
While we were eating and chit chatting, the father was whole-heartedly putting the boy to sleep. Nathaniel's father was such a great father and a superb husband to my friend. Hats off to him. He ate way later than all of us after the boy had woken up from nap.
Lastly, everyone got together to sing birthday song for the precious birthday boy, followed by prayers, then group photos.
Although we were full, the cake was irresistible.
I got to take some photos with my sister-in-law, so happened we wore some black top and a jeans. She then took photos of me with my husband and me with my beautiful niece.
May you grow and bloom well, Nathaniel. You are indeed deeply loved and richly blessed!!!
