Preparations for Erin's birthday

And it's on. We have already booked the venue for Erin's 1st birthday celebration.

After a week of looking for a suitable place, we have decided on the Star Buffet at Seven Hills RSL. We did consider a few other places, namely Blacktown RSL (great food but a bit far and they have a minimum guest requirement), the Ranch Hotel at McQuarie Park (great place, has kids playground, but too expensive), and a few other smaller venues. We visited Seven Hills RSL yesterday and thought it was perfect for what we're planning to do.


The celebration will be on 3 May, which is still more than a month away. We still have a few more things to organize but we've already got the following covered:
  • Venue - Check!
  • Date - Check!
  • Food - Check!
  • Decorations - Check!
  • Cake - Check!
  • Entertainment - Check!
  • Photographer - very close to agreement
  • Invitations - that's next in line
  • Loot bags - Lani's been busy buying stuff from Aliexpress. Hopefully they arrive on time. 
Exciting!
