Play Date And Birthday Party ( Momimhar posted on April 24th, 2014 )

We went to a play date again at my girl friend’s house this afternoon. I didn’t know that she was celebrating her eldest daughter’s birthday today too. So my daughter and I went to the store and bought a birthday present and a greeting card for the celebrant. I advised my friend that we will be a bit late because we will be coming from the library after the story time.

My cousin and her two girls were already there when we arrived. The children were very glad to see DD. They headed toward the playground in the backyard immediately. My darling daughter enjoys playing with her cousins and my friend’s daughters. Sometimes she asks me when she can play with them again.

I told my husband that we have to buy a play set for her so she can play in the backyard in the spring, summer, and fall. I think our daughter is big enough to enjoy a backyard play set. And, I think, it will save us time and gas to drive to the play areas in the mall or to the playground in town. If we do want to go to town, it will be once in a while. I haven’t received a confirmation yet.

Anyway, it was a great party. As usual, DD didn’t want to go home.

Do Big Birthday Parties Not Appealing To Teens Anymore? ( Momimhar posted on March 30th, 2014 )

The birthday celebration of my girl friend’s son was a success. It’s been a while since we have been to her house. I the last time we were there was at the Halloween Party. Uh, I wasn’t even sure. 🙂

My darling daughter had a great time playing with the other guests’ kids. There’s a play set in their backyard that has swing, slide, and a house that were put together. As soon as we arrived and greeted the host and some guests, DD went straight to backyard and got on the swing.

It wasn’t a themed birthday party. It was just simple yet big. I mean simple because the only decoration was one “Happy Birthday” balloon. Big, because there so many guests and most of them are grown ups. 😀 The celebrant turned 13 years old so I guess he didn’t like the thought of having this fancy theme decoration.

As parents, we notice that as kids gets older their interest in having big birthday celebration declines. Especially when they are approaching their teens. It seems like some teens don’t find big birthday parties appealing anymore. Anyway, special occasions like birthdays are worth celebrating no matter how big or small the celebration is.

There’s lots of food at the party this afternoon. The main attraction was the whole roasted pig she ordered from someone in Tyler (Texas).

Christmas Party 2013 ( Momimhar posted on December 13th, 2013 )

The Fil-Am Christmas Party was great. This is the first time my darling daughter attended such party and I can say that she had a wonderful time. She and her cousin Audrey were anxious to see Santa at the party that as soon as we enter the community center, they asked “Where is Santa?”.

But before that, we fried the lumpia at my cousin’s house this afternoon. Also, we brought our stuff and had ourselves dressed there, too. To speed up the frying of the lumpia, we used two deep pots. Sure enough it saved us 30 minutes. So we had a bit more time getting ready and do our make-up for the Christmas party.

Deep-frying the lumpia in these pots. 🙂

Spring rolls (lumpia). Yummy!

We dressed up the girls. They look very pretty in their Holiday dresses. My cousin and I curled our hair for a change. 🙂 The two girls were very happy to know that Santa will be at the party.

Although we arrived a few minutes late, we did not miss the start of the program. The little ones were able to join the games and they got to see Santa, too. The party coordinators gave away presents for the kids. Oh, they’re so happy. My darling daughter got a doll and a toy cell phone from Santa.
