For the first time, Summer requested what to have on her birthday cake. She wanted a Strawberry Shortcake birthday cake!We did not have a really big party for her, just a lunch gathering with the family. But still, to give her the party feeling, I looked for stuff in theme. I searched Toys R Us and Toy Kingdom for party items and couldn't find Strawberry Shortcake, Divisoria to the rescue! I was able to buy a birthday banner, paper plate, loot bags and loot items there. Then, I bought pink, light green and red balloons and ordered a cake from Goldilocks. I initially planned to get one from Kink Cakes kaya lang mahal hehe, e basta may character masaya na anak ko, di naman kailangan mamahalin.
Guests started coming in at Saturday dinner. We had mechado and hototay soup. We set-up a tent outside the house for some drinking, singing, and playing. Summer slept at 2:30am at masama pa loob, ayaw pa matulog!
We had Papa's all-time favorite goto for breakfast with tokwa and shredded Ryan's crispy pata.Then, came the party! We had spaghetti, ribs, inihaw na tilapia, cake and strawberry ice cream.
Summer shared her loot bags to all her friends and opened her gifts. This time, Omar and I didn't bother getting her an expensive toy. She loves cheap toys just the same so why bother spending. We ought to get her cheap toys, mas marami pa. Kaya lang, mas makalat hehe. We gave her her long-requested golf set, a snake and ladders gameboard because she once asked me what a dice is for, and a toy cash register because she loves playing shopping - a bad sign! hehehe. She got lots of new clothes - hurray! and toy make up and nail polish from her kikay Tita Yang and Tita M and a swim suit from Ninang Onnie.
Summer was so happy, thanking me and Omar and telling us that she was very happy for her party - paulit ulit. Sulit na ang pagod at gastos.To all the guests who came, thank you for joining us and for all your gifts for Summer. You truly made her happy. To family far away, thank you for remembering and for your gifts to follow hahahaha!
Happy birthday Summer!
