shakey's tomas morato
yipee! another amazingly fun birthday bash i personally brewed for my lovely daughter who just turned 3 yo. last month!
why shakeys? - my kumare's daughters had a party at shakeys 2 months earlier at a different branch & i was greatly satisfied with the taste & quantity of the food they served at that party.
cake & cupcakes - from ana baluyut
tarpaulin & ty cards - by daddy ryan
loot bags & souvenirs - by mommy genna
balloons, playmats & crayolas - by shakeys
barney mascot - kidzstar kastles
this time i invited close relatives only & a few chosen kumares. our objective was to make it a smaller affair than last years & much warmer, one which our daughter would recognize everyone around her.
problem was, rayne caught the flu the day before her party so she wasn't able to really mingle much, not even w/ the kids. you'd see her mostly cuddled by her dad, by me, or by her yaya. my poor baby...
anyhoo, everyone had a blast, which got me surprised, considering most guests are adults. the key ingredient to rayne's party that made it all 101% fun? the super hilarious clowns i hired c/o rayne's ninang saleng...& their fee was cheap!
souvenir items & showing off daddy R's wonderful tarp work
we started off an hour late (as usual, parang cebu pac ah! hehe). there's the birthday song, the games, the clowns, balloon twisting, magic, & ofcourse i got barney! barney danced, barney sang (not really. swayed, yes) the i love you song with all the kids, food!, candle blowing & picture taking w/ the barney mascot & lastly, the loot bag giving.

the store manager was quite impressed by rayne's loot bag presentation & ty cards that he asked to take one of each. (thank you!)
we packed up before 7pm, rushing the rest who still wanted to get face painted. everyone of my relative left w/ a wide smile on their faces.
phew! nice job me hehe.
my daughter at 3 already learned how to:
bike
dance in rhythm
form sentences clearly
sing songs w/ correct lyrics
is still a die-hard fan of spongebob squarepants
eats by herself
potty-trained!
calls everybody by name
very obedient & respectful, uses 'opo' in place of 'yes'
very eager to go to school which she will next year june
max'd sweetness!!! etc etc
my birthday with for my princess? - that she gets well (because she was sick on her day) & that she starts to learn to clean up after herself hehe.
ryan & i agreed to spend less on her next birthdays to save money. money we can spend on a family trip abroad in a year or 2. hongkong na sana!
