Here are more pictures of the birthday girl. She was very happy during the entire party. Good thing she was able to sleep before we left the house. By the way, I bought her clothes from Periwinkle in Shang Mall. I just love the color.

She adores Dora the Explorer a lot!

She almost wants to bring home Dora! (lol!)

The pictures from Howell are already here. I love the photos! As in super love! Thanks Howell! From the pictures, we can see how happy the guests during the party. We are so happy also that most of our friends and family were able to make it to the party. I only exceeded 6pax based on my reservation for 100pax. I was kinda anxious during the party if the lootbags I prepared for the kids would be enough as I only had 50pcs made so I was asking the maids to count all the kids to ensure that everyone would be able to get something. In previous parties, (if you have read before), we had 90+ kids during Margaux’s and Bianca’s 1st Birthday Parties. Well, we have limit our guestlist this time. But good thing, I still made the right estimate.

We started the party late since most of the guests were stranded due to heavy rains. We were in Shakey’s before 3pm so good thing we weren’t caught in the flash flood along Katipunan Avenue. Despite that fact that we started late, all the kids had a blast.

I was very happy with my suppliers as well.
1. Shakey’s Katipunan (love the food– bunch of lunch and we ordered 1 big giant pizza, which was a hit to the guests)
2. Adworks - for the invitations. I have always been a “suki.”
3. Melisse - for the tarpaulin and printing. Thanks girl!
4. Yanple - for the balloon decors, Dora Mascot and glitter tattoo artist. I’m happy with the balloons. Thanks Apple for accommodating all my requests and my last-minute bilins.
5. Quintbelles - for the 2-layer cake. Thanks again Elaine. It was a beautiful cake.
6. Sheila from 168 Mall - 2nd time to order from her. I’m good with what she delivered.
7. URC company store - thanks to the husband’s discount, all items inside the lootbags came from URC (universal robina corporation)
8. Divisoria Mall - of course, for the prizes and other goodies for the party.
9. Frostings - the super yummy cupcakes, which apprently, I forgot to distribute during the party. It was all at the bottom of the table and I just realized when we were packing all the stuff already. We were able to give to some guests who were still there anyway.
10. Howell - for photo coverage. I am very happy with the output. I love all the shots. As in I can make stories out of the photos.
11. Juana in 168 mall - for my fabulous outfit! lol! This is my fab find at a super great price! Please tell me I don’t need those fat burners when you see me in the pictures. 

Here are some pictures from Howell. I’m still downloading some and I still want to make more stories about the party…

will be a busy one.  

Saturday, we will attend Sam’s (of Jacqui) party.

And of course on Sunday will be our Bianca’s 2nd Birthday Celebration in Shakey’s Katipunan.

I have prepared everything for the party and I am really hoping I am not missing anything. Even the clothes/dress of the kids are already prepared so as my outfit for the party! The only thing that I missed is having a crash diet so I would look good on that dress! I never got the chance to hop on the air climber or even on the elliptical so please do not laugh when you see the party pictures next week.  And don’t dare to ask if I’m pregnant ok?  I’m NOT!  Period.  (bwahaha!)

yesterday was a good one. 

She enjoyed playing with the kids of the Cribs Foundation. Stories and pictures here.

After her simple party, we went to Fun Ranch in Tiendesitas. The ultimate favorite of my two kids. Good thing we are just very near the place so it has always been easy to go. And since it was a weekday, very few kids were there, reason why they had so much fun. Look at the pictures how they had a blast…

My heart is always smiling to see them always play together…

To our precious little Bianca…

who has grown really fast as a charming toddler now…

You truly bring joy in our hearts.  You are such a darling in our lives!

Happy 2nd Birthday to you!

We love you so much,

Daddy, Mommy and Ate Margaux

Leaving you first with a picture of the little girls from the MBAP party yesterday.  They had a blast playing in the pretty play room of Jane’s Sophia. Too bad the heated pool didn’t make it to complete construction so the kids didn’t have a chance to swim. Nevertheless, they love the vast playground in Jane’s mansion, lol! And my little Margaux was whispering to me that she wants a room like Sophie! Hihihi. Well, I said to her that she and Bianca can finally have one in the next couple of months. I’m just glad also that both Bianca and Margaux are now fully toilet-trained so I can let them sleep on their own room eventually without worrying about mattresses getting wet. Goodbye disposable diaper! What a great savings!

is the favorite play time of the kids now…

Happy Thursday!

Inspired by Aggie’s Post, I also found this cute picture of the little girls.

The precious models of my life!

Sorry for the hazy photos but I just need to post these. 

Bianca while having her pedicure!  (bwahaha!)

Her party updates here.

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!

I already posted this picture in my other blog but I just want to share that I have not been removing this from our door hardware, since I got it few weeks back.

Margaux has been bringing home a lot of artwoks from school and I just love collecting all of those. I bought an accordion folder to put everything in place. I’m kinda sentimental to these kind of things.

Also, it makes me feel home, after a long day of meetings whenever I see it hanging on our room door.

I’m one happy mommy because I have very sweet little girls.
