What did Dwayne get from tito for his Birthday!?

Dwayne is so excited to open his gifts that he wanted to open it when we arrived at home from Chanel’s birthday party. We told him to open it at 12 Midnight.

And just around 12:30AM, I received an iMessage from Dwayne thanking me for my gift.

I always fancy football and dream of wearing a jersey someday while watching a game at World Cup. And since it’s impossible for me to join any club, I just wish Dwayne will be able to play the game one day. I was happy when I learned that he loves to enroll in a summer camp so I decided of getting him a complete attire for his birthday.

We’ll soon enroll him in Ateneo Football Camp or maybe in BGC turf!

Again, Happy Birthday Dwayne!

Right from the moment Chanel attended her brother’s 7th Birthday, we knew that she’ll celebrate her 1st birthday in Sanrio’s Hello Kitty theme. And just few months after she was born, we started planning on what to get for her party. We searched the net, asked my aunt to get it from Party City and travel to HongKong to get some items in Sanrio.

And so it arrived, woke up early and travel down to Manila from Quezon City for an early call time to get ready for the party. We went to Serendra to pick up the cupcakes and drove back to Makati to start setting up for the party area.

The Entertainment Staff is already waiting for us when we arrived at Shakey’s Valero. We started pumping up the balloons, installing the party back drop and danglers and giving instructions to Shakey’s staff on where to place the Ice cream cart, Photo Booth and chairs and tables. After which, we drove back to Manila to freshen up and get ready for the party.

As usual, we were few minutes late when we arrived at the party. Everyone’s waiting for us and the magician is already entertaining the guests.

We love that 4 feet Hello Kitty Mylar balloon! It glides and its uber expensive! Hahaha

Looks like Dwayne and Chanel is enjoying the sparkling candles, Dwayne will have 8 sparklers on his cake later

Or maybe its my sister who is enjoying it more

The Magician package came with free balloon burst. I just can’t believe that the balloon burst is so small

Confetti

My sister asked their guests to bring Hello Kitty stuffed toys at the party. Cutest Kitty toys will win Hello Kitty watches.

Just like last year on his 7th birthday, Dwayne played with the balloons and took it home! I just love this kiddo! So cute and sweet! There’s this moment when I ordered for a Shirley Temple drink, Dwayne tried it and liked it that he asked me to order one for him. He told me “Lahat na lang ng nirerecommend mo nala-like ko”, so sweet!

Chanel had her nap while we are waiting for the car.

We left the venue around 8 or almost 9PM already. Chanel woke up and had to change for her presents!

So Cute!

It was a tiring but fun day! I left Manila around 10PM and felt like a shuttle service routing North to South and back!

To Chanel, Happy Birthday again and we love you!

To my beloved nephew, Happy Birthday! You’re growing fast! You will forever be my kiddo!

I love you! Always take good care of Chanel, ok?

After the party, we went home and checked out Chanel’s gifts. Here’s one from Michelle (my sister’s friend).

That last photo is priceless! I love it!

Yesterday marks Chanel’s first birthday and what better way to celebrate it is to munch some sweet cupcakes with Chanel bag topper!

Dwayne wanted the Coco Cocoon Trolley!

Main event will be tomorrow but my sister still prepared a little something at home.

Sparkling Candles

Like last year for Dwayne’s, we bought some stuff for her party in the US through our beloved Tita Hattie. I didn’t buy online this time since the Party Online Store I shopped into last year is not accepting paypal payment anymore. I’m kind of scared doing online shopping for some stores that are not that famous if I’ll be using my card. Unless local banks issues contactless cards I won’t hesitate. This is why we asked her to go shopping for us. Third package just arrived the same day since we thought we didn’t get enough balloons for the party.

Party Accessories

Some of the candies we bought in HongKong

Chanel knows her kiddie character, she loves kissing Hello Kitty

For the girls

Human Size Hello Kitty Balloon

Chanel wore her Diane Von Furstenberg dress and Gap Jelly flats

It’ll be a long day tomorrow. I’ve already tweeted the weather to just give us a gloomy but not humid weather tomorrow so we can enjoy the party. It’s not an outdoor event but a dry road is a lot better.

Can’t wait!

Oh, Dwayne is celebrating his 8th on Sunday. They’ll be going to an Orphanage to celebrate his birthday. So sad that I can’t attend the event since I need to report at work early on Monday.
