Mommy's 27th Birthday Celebration

I can't believe I just turned 27th! Time flies so fast...I can still remember my high school days, when I use to think of what I'm gonna be when I'm 25, and now is my 27th year!

My birthday was celebrated in my hometown with my family. Hubby and I went off to church in the morning and we had a sumptuous dinner at home made by mom.

 My cake from Red Ribbon (cookies and cream)

Callos

 Spaghetti

 The famous Mochi from Nathaniel's (it was featured in Kapuso mo Jessica Soho)

Maja Blanca (also from Nathaniel's)

Steamed Crabs (from my mom's kitchen)

Crispy Pata (from my mom's kitchen)

Pork Sisig (made by my brother Chinno)

It was indeed a very simple birthday celebration. Yet, another one was held in the office with my team. I got a surprise birthday cake from them, though I bought a simple lunch for the team.

 

They even asked  hubby to bring in the surprise cake for me. :)

Aglio Olio (I made this)

Shrimps

Boiled Crabs

The surprise cake (with a birthday card? lol)

They were too busy eating my treat. :)

Some of the birthday gifts I got:

From hubby and Yale: La Senza Lingerie, an iphone case, Mac sheer face powder and Mac Russian Red Lipstick

 From Debbie, Paulo and Annela: A fresh water pearl bracelet (another addition to my collection)

Also, the day before my birthday...Hubby treated me for a relaxing whitening foot spa at Nail-a-holics in SM Pampanga

It was indeed a simple celebration but a very memorable one. With these three kiddos, I definitely enjoyed my day! :)

Thanks for the time and thank you Lord for another year and for all the blessings! :) xoxo

Daddy's 29th Birthday

My husband had a simple celebration of his 29th birthday on August 15th. Since it was a rainy day and both I and Yale (our son) had colds, we postponed our planned lunch at Vikings Buffet restaurant in MOA.

I then asked him if he wants to have dinner but of course, we can't bring Yale with us. So then, we went to Rockwell and had dinner at Chilli's.

 This was a complimentary birthday ice cream

My bad, I wasn't able to take note of the entree that we ordered. But it was really a sumptuous meal. I also bought him a cake from Sugarhouse.

This cake tastes too sweet though

And of course, my birthday gift for him...Nike running shoes that we bought weeks (advance) before his birthday at the NLEX Factory Store.

So there, simple celebration and just the three of us. Another celebration took place on August 17th for lunch time with my brothers and sisters. 

Up next will be my celebration. xoxo

GREYAM YALE'S BIG DAY!

     At last, I now have the energy to follow up on my new article: Greyam Yale's 1st Birthday Celebration.

     We celebrated our son's BIG DAY on May 19th at Cafe Rustico, City of San Fernando Pampanga. That was between three til 6:30 in the evening. Most of our relatives and close friends went to the party. Yale's ninongs and ninangs with their kids joined the party too. It was a tiring afternoon for all of us, of course, mom was there at the venue earlier to keep things organized.

     Here are some of the photos my brother and hubby took from the party:

We used minimal balloons for the party, coordinating the colors for the theme which is basketball and the color of Lakers, Purple and Yellow.

 The cupcakes were placed around the cake, we didn't use a cupcake stand for this.

 Yale's birthday cake was designed as a Laker's jersey with his name and age, moist chocolate cake.

The chocolate fountain that tita Doris sponsored for Yale, too bad the chocolate became too thick after some time due to the temperature. :(

I made some DIY cards for the buffet, candy corner and souvenir tables. Here are the cards:

 

Here is Yale's Candy Corner, though hubby wasn't able to take a photo of the entire table when there were still a lot of candies. :)

Our family picture before the party started, hubby and I wearing Bryant jerseys and Yale's was personalized with his name and age at the back. :)

       They enjoyed the photo booth that I rented for unlimited time and prints, spent Php 6,000 for this.
                                                    Here is our family photo booth shot. :)

Here is the design of the ref magnet giveaways for adults, wasn't able to take a photo of the magnet that we gave out. No more left. :)

Kiddie giveaways, coin banks. I made the thank you tags. :)

Yale's Lakers jersey from tito Ace, bought in LA. :)

Game prizes composed of toys, art materials and school supplies since Yale's kiddie guests were mostly schooling.

                  I wrapped the coloring books with crayons and put ribbons and thank you cards.

               I also wrapped the rulers, pencils, erasers and pens with clear cellophane and ribbons.

                         More game prizes from Toy Kingdom were toys and colognes from Bench. :)

      For the Best in Costume awards, I bought 2 eco bags from Toy Kingdom and these prizes landed inside.

Yale's gifts from the guests who attended the party

                                                                      Monetary gifts :)

                                       Gifts from office mates, those who weren't able to attend

To all those who attended Yale's celebration, Thank You So Much! We really appreciate your effort and your generous gifts. :)
