A weekend of parties Part III: Another splash to remember

Last Sunday, Elle Marie's Ate Cacy turned 7 while her Kuya Earl turned 5! This time instead of the usual party in either Mcdonalds or Burger King, they had it in a private swimming area in Quirino, Quezon City. The party was a very intimate one. They only invited a couple of really close friends and the rest are families.

Elle enjoyed playing in the pool with the other kids. She especially liked the yellow "salbabida" made available in the pool. (this time it was not a giveaway hehe) But, one thing I noticed, she is afraid of the sound of the splash! So every time someone jumps on the she would make an ugly afraid face and attempts to bite me!

Happy Birthday Kuya Earl! and Ate Cacy!

A weekend of parties Part II: Elle Rocks!!!

It was a night of music, fashion, dancing and drinking. Elle Marie sported a black tops with silver studded print saying "firefly", silver balloon skirt especially made by Mama, black and white stripe socks, and a yellow apple necklace that Elle hand picked from Landmark. Elle Rocks! She danced, watched the cat walks and played with her black balloons the whole night!Ate Coco turned seven and she celebrated it with a bang by having an "A list" party at the Party Venue in Tomas Morato. Everybody came in their best "get ups" representing their music. There were girls in "Hannah Montana" look, girls in hip hop look, and MEAN girls! Yes, I promised myself that I will groom Elle to grow up a fashionista but never a mean girl. I want her to develop her own style, something that will represent the real Elle... I want her to grow up a good citizen of this world respecting everybody whether they are rich or poor, good-looking or aesthetically challenged, black or white.

Happy birthday Ate Coco!

A weekend of parties Part I: A splash to remember...

it was tyler and lucas manuel's birthday bash last march 21, 2009 at the salcedo swimming pool, the regency. lucas is elle marie's classmate in toddler's unlimited. they usually see each other after class in salcedo park. tyler is lucas' older brother who also studies in toddler's unlimited.the salcedo swimming pool in the regency was great. it has a kiddie pool and a shower area just perfect for toddlers! everybody was either swimming or playing with water gun. on top of the tables were chocolates, coloring sheets, crayons, aquariums with fighter fish. these kept the kids busy while eating. elle enjoyed the yellow 'salbabida" that was made available in the pool. good thing, lucas gave it away as "giveaway" so elle got to take it home with her.

but i think, elle especially enjoyed playing with her classmates lucas and cyro. now that summer is just a few days away, i know for sure that elle marie will miss them.

Happy Birthday Lili!!!

Elle Marie just came from Lili's 2nd year birthday party this afternoon! Lili is one of Elle's closest friends. They are classmates in Toddlers Unlimited and playmates outside school. Lili is the reason why Elle is enrolled in Toddlers. I met her mom and dad in Gymboree (they used to go there also) and got to talk to them about toddler schools. They shared about Todddlers. So, I went and had a trial class for Elle... Ultimately, I enrolled Elle in Toddlers:-)

The party was a blast! Almost all of Lili's friends came and they all had a great time. Elle enjoyed the body paint! She even had two paintings on her left and right hands! One was Belle and the other is Ariel. BUT, I think she especially loved playing with Lili, Nicholas, Max, Finn, and Sean. She also enjoyed meeting Lili's friends.
I enjoyed the "Tako" (i hope i got it right) Thailand's version of Philippine's "mAja blanca" and the cat fish with ripe mango...

Happy Birthday Lili!
