Hello Friends!
We had a very busy but fun week celebrating my youngest daughter's 3rd birthday!
I will let the pictures do the talking since there are a lot to share, I had some help of course setting up everything a few days before the big day, but I'm proud to say I made most of the paper flowers ( in between patients) and my cousin made the lettering and some of the other flowers here! Can't believe I would sew the flowers on the grass carpet turf too!

| TA-DA! |
 |
| Invite I chose from ETSY |
 |
| Cake and Dessert Table |
 |
| I got the table cover from TARGET on clearance |
 |
| My baby looking at all the goodies |
 |
| Brownie boats courtesy of my cousing, she also made the marshmallow topped cupcakes |
 |
| The Naked Cake was made by a friend of mine and I decorated the cake too! |
 |
| I added "coconut trees" inside the gazebo |
 |
| Just paper and balloons |
 |
| Our backyard was transformed |
 |
| A friend of ours lent us this stand and we just decorated away |
 |
| We had Gulaman which is a Filipino Sweet drink |
 |
I wasn't able to take a good picture of the centerpieces but they were yellow balloons with leaves
and a Moana Balloon on top. Needless to say they wouldn't stay up because of the wind! |
 |
Some more party details - Lei's and flowers for everyone.
The loot bag was a Moana Back pack with goodies. |
 |
| To welcome our guests |
 |
| The Gift tag I added to the loot bags |
 |
| My cousin made this Photo prop for the party and was a huge hit! |
And of course we had lots of food...
 |
| Sushi Galore |
 |
We had Sukiyaki, Spring rolls, Chicken wings, Pork Barbecue, Pancit (Filipino String noodles), Baked Spaghetti and
Torta (Filipino Chiffon cake), and White rice of course - a Filipino Staple |
For entertainment we had pool still open and warmed up for the party, the playground set...
 |
| Bounce house |
 |
| Fire Dancer |
Overall, the party was a huge success for everyone especially my little girl who bounced, swam, mingled and danced away.

| Me with my little celebrant |
Don't forget, the ORC starts this week so be sure to drop by!
Have a Great Week!

ReplyDeleteVel,
ReplyDeleteWhat a magical party! So festive. I was mesmerized by the pictures and the array of food! I am thinking you had a ton of guests, because that is a lot of food. Yum!!! And I'm a little saddened I was invited to try that delicious sushi, after all, I also live in Illinois!!! Just 300 miles aways! lol!
I can't rave enough about the party and all of your creative touches everywhere. it does take a village but I know how great you are in the design and fab ideas department.
It's so hard to believe she is Sophia is already 3! I think she has your husband's eyes, but definitely your smile!
Do you think you might share recipes one day? I'd love to venture outside my little box!
HaPpY BiRtHdAy, SoPhIa!!!!
