It's been more than 2 weeks since we celebrated Mila's birthday. I just want to share some (ok, it's alot) of the pictures here . I couldn't be anymore proud.
This party was challenging but equally fulfilling. I started wanting to DIY the whole party. I couple of month into the preparations, I realized I needed some help since I couldn't possible do all I wanted to do while I have a fulltime job. And when everything was settled, the week of Mila's party, Hubs, Yaya Joy, Mila and I got sick. Most of our family and friends who could have helped out are either too far or has work commitments. So a full checklist scheduled to be done in one week was all cramped up in one day. Friday was Mila's actual birthday and we planned on having our little staycation before the party next day. I ended up having no sleep from Thursday night until Saturday morning working on the decors. Thank you to my slave workers, my sister Paullette, cousin Jerome (who traveled from Libis to Cavite and as soon as he got there, traveled back to Pasay to help me out), and to Yaya Joy.
I know I still have a lot to learn to make a wonderful party. Lucky, I got alot more of Mila's birthdays to organize and practice on. Maybe next time I'll have more luck and DIY as much as I want. Looking at all the pictures and seeing the smiles on everyone's face tell me everybody enjoyed. And that's good enough for me.
'Til the next party!
Baby Alessandra is so cute! she's lucky to have a hands-on mom like you, no matter how full your sched was. Everyday naman is a learning process for us moms so your first is always a good start.
