Festival of the May CelebrantsWednesday, May 24, was Kuya Lito's birthday so it was a seafood dinner at Valle 2. The food was good and healthy, but was just an appetizer for what was supposed to be of the rest of the week.
Friday, May 26, was Macie's 2nd birthday so it was a whole afternoon of fun and play at Gymboree. It was a very entertaining event. Macie and her friends had all these Gymboree activities while Tita Bam played Teacher (after all she is the teacher of the Explorations kids) and I played official photographer. Wow! I knew covering an event was difficult but I didn't think it was that tedious. Kids are the best subjects but the most difficult, nevertheless, the most fun. And then there was food, ice cream, and these really good cupcakes...
Saturday, May 27, was Mikey's birthday. Time for the big Two-Oh! THe eating was "fantabulous". Last year was dinner at Terry's so this year was better. It was Terry's AND Santi's at their house. There were cold cuts, cheese, raclette, gourmet salad, chocolate fondue... Then we spent the entire afternoon playing with Ellie, her really cute 4-month old, 1/4 Belgian niece.
Sunday, May 28, was Lola's Birthday. It was a whole day affair of eating, mahjong for the Titas, poker for the boys, art and crafts for the girls, and more eating for everyone. At night, we made it a joint Baby Shower for Ate Char. Poor Macie thought the party and the gifts were still for her. How do you explain to a two-year old that the gifts were for her not-yet-born baby brother? But anyway, it was fun. We even had a game called the Milk Drinking contest. It's not that simple. We had all the boy cousins line up and drink milk from a baby bottle. Really hilarious!
