Archie's birthday

Birthdays are getting more and more expensive - we thought they cost lots of money in the UK, but in HK the expectation is even higher. Not just the kids' expectations of having a party complete with entertainer etc, but parents also seem to be trying to out-do each other. Archie's birthday fell at a bad time for us - we were getting ready to move and Joss was preparing for the 3-week UK trip --- so Archie's Bday this year was sans major party. And this will probably be the way forward for both of them -- small gathering of close friends @ home from now on. Much more civilised (and cheaper!).
