Alec's 8th Birthday

For Alec's 8th birthday, we stayed at Shangri-la EDSA. I asked around and it turned out that EDSA Shang has one of the best kiddie pool in the Metro. It was a good choice, the kids (and adults), enjoyed the swimming pool and aqua activity area.

Alehra's 1st birthday suppliers' rating

There are moms who plan their baby's birthday right after they recuperated from giving birth. NO, i'm not one of them...hahaha. As usual, I started planning 3 months before.

We pencil booked at Dad's Glorietta and 2 months before the event they called to inform me that they need to be strict with the time because they have a booking for a debut right after us. I did not like the idea of my guests being told to leave while we are still chatting so we cancelled the reservation.

With no venue and 2 months to go, where else to turn but to my reliable nawie sisters. I checked the archive on the supplier ratings and saw the review of sis Tet on Fun Ranch. So come weekend, I dragged hubby to go there to check the place. It's not our first time there, my kids love the place, but we haven't really paid attention to their party rooms since we go there for the rides. 

Another venue we considered was Milkyway (Pasay Road)  because of their sooo yummy food. Unfortunately, their minimum consumable was out of our budget..bohoohoo. 

Party planning

3 weeks before Ehra's first birthday and this is how my To do list looks like:

Those highlighted in yellow are things I've already accomplished and those in green are my pending items. Those in orange are things i've started but can't mark as completed already.

Some guests have already confirmed. Knowing our culture of not RSVPing, I need to call each guests by next week to get the final list.

The supplier rating of a co-nawie made the planning a bit easier for me.

Goodluck to me and hope it will be a special day to remember.

Basty's 5th birthday - Tarlac

Basty wanted a Jollibee party but Jollibee Capas is small and they don't have play area so we told him we'll just have it in Mcdo and he agreed. It's actually an advance celebration - we celebrated it Aug. 28 (Sunday).

Basty's 5th birthday - Pampanga

We were in Pampanga the day of Basty's birthday. Her lola bought cake and cooked Spaghetti and hotdog for the kids. There were games and it was really heartwarming to see kids play and have fun. Even Basty joined in the games.

4th birthday

Time flies so fast...my baby boy is now 4 years old, soon i won't be able to call him baby anymore.

We never planned to have visitors because we didn't really prepare many food, but when I asked our neighbor (who called other neighbors), we had instant party. Most of our neighbors(same floor) came. Sabi nga nila, the more the merrier. Basty had fun naman. Sorry lang kasi no ice cream dahil may cough silang dalawa ni Alec (including daddy).

Alec's 2nd bday

We had fun @ EK a day before her bday and then we had a simple celebration @ home on the day of her birthday.
