Margaux’s Birthday Party in School…

She celebrated her 6th Birthday party in school about 12 days earlier. I practically prepared everything last week of February already. I wanted her to have a morning tea party so when the teacher offered that she celebrates it on their last day, I immediately grabbed the opportunity. It will be a perfect theme since they will have a picnic in the garden.

Her sample invitation was posted here.

I am proud of what i have prepared for her party. Here are the details:

The hats…these were different colored hats given to the classmates.

Her lootbox and what’s inside…

The cake and the cupcakes…

The mugs and the juices…the mugs were also souvenirs.

The birthday girl enjoyed her party very much.

It was a great way to celebrate with her classmates in Kindergarten. Next year, birthday parties are no longer allowed in grade school level

Fireworks…

Sorry for the blurry pictures but the above boxes were the fireworks that the husband bought in time for welcoming 2011. We got it few days before new year’s even and I can’t believe how much we spent for it. The husband increased his budget from last year’s. Well, he was kidding when he said that he will rather spend for it more than those best weight loss supplements, lol! He said he doesn’t need it anyway. Oh, I really hope he won’t as he said he is decided to shape up this year. I am just praying that he will be true to his words.

Full…

It was full under the christmas tree…

The kids had a blast opening their gifts the morning of christmas day! They received lots of gifts from their godparents so as from family and friends. Will blog about it separately.

We also distributed most of our gifts to our families and friends during our christmas party reunions.

And oh, Husband and I also got few nice gifts!

It was a happy christmas!

Christmas in the house…

It’s officially christmas in the house. We are ready to receive guests for the 6 parties we would have this month of December. Yeah, 6. And 3 of which would be this week already. So imagine how busy I could be this week. We have one already starting tomorrow, another one on friday night and one on Saturday. This are all happening in between my very busy schedule with work.

I haven’t taken picture yet of what the husband did for the christmas lights outside the garden but I’m happy to share our christmas decors inside the house. Since it’s our first christmas celebration in the house, I painstakingly took the effort to shop for all the items. All were up before we left for Guam as my sister-in-law threw a suprise birthday party for my brother last November 21 while we were in Guam. A number of their visitors complimented the decors…

Advance Merry Christmas to all!

Christmas Decors Shopping…

Jody — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:30:55 +0000

We took advantage of the holiday last monday, November 2 to go to 168 mall to purchase lootbags and some prizes for Bianca’s party in school tomorrow. Apparently, we were able to see few christmas decors as well so we did purchase. My husband also got christmas lights already. I almost can’t imagine how much he has spent for those christmas lights in rolls. The ones in like the plastic hose as he plans to put lights on our entire lawn area.

We then headed to Megamall to buy our new christmas tree. We haven’t put up yet though. Will wait for next weekend. We also bought the decors to put for the tree plus all other decors for our side tables, living room centertable, vases, candles, new throw pillow cases. We went home that our car was almost full. Counting back, I gaspped at the thought of how much we spent just for that day.

We have started to put some already today in time for my dear Bianca’s bday. I am seeing that I still lack some actually so I would probably hit the mall again this coming weekend. We have decided for the traditional color scheme this year, RED and GOLD. So it would be easy to keep all those we bought for next year since it’s very conventional. Yeah, we should repeat use of it as it ain’t all cheap!

Will post next time the pictures of the house in christmas season already!

Happy Birthday Margaux!

Our little girl is growing up so fast! Today, she is 4 years old. Happy 4th Birthday Margaux. No more big parties this time. Would just bring her out together with Bianca and her cousins.

Our 6th year wedding anniversary…

celebration yesterday went well. Guess where we went? SM Megamall to buy the little girls their bikes! Margaux has been urging and urging for a week now that she wants an “orange” (her fave color) bike. But there’s no available orange so we just got her a pink motorbike which is rechargable. We also got Bianca a small red bike. They were ecstatic and was eager to go home right after buying the new toys. It was jam-packed in SM Megamall because of the 3-day sale. We took advantage cause we got those bikes for 20% off. Great savings!We brought them home after and the husband and I proceeded to Greenbelt, Makati to have an-hour of massage in The Spa, Greenbelt. We checked out first the restaurants in Greenbelt 5 so that made us decide where to dine in. Our options were: Chateau 1771, The Maison, Myron’s Place and Fish Out of Water. We finally decided to check out and try The Maison. It was an overly delicious dinner at The Maison. We made thr right choice. We ordered the Chef’s Salad, Seafood Marinara and a 300gm Fillet Mignon steak! Whoo!, lean mean that was! Yummy and truly juicy. I want to go back here to try their famous and big serving of Ribs. It was a well-spent anniversary celebration!
