My Angel's 3rd Birthday..Sweet 3!

           

                My precious sweet baby Angela just turned three this weekend. She's no longer a baby anymore and she already understands what parties and birthdays are all about. On her birthday we wanted her to be the happiest and the prettiest girl. I decided to plan a birthday party that she would really love.

         
 About a month ago, I started to search on the internet for some party themes. I scouted, called, and messaged some friends to ask and seek for advices and opinions where to and how to. We decided to have a sweet party theme. I began to crack down, collect, and buy stuff that will be used for the party, starting from the invitation, giveaways, decoration, prizes, down to the ingredients of the food that will be prepared. I really enjoyed every step of the preparation and planning but got a little bit stress-out with the weather days before the party. Since the weather is really unpredictable, we decided to have other plans to make the party indoor.

            The invitations were made and designed a week in advance by her Daddy. I am really happy to see that the theme is really something bright, sweets, and fun! The location was in our church at St. Andrew's Parish Hall, where we attend service and fellowship. We celebrated her birthday on the exact day of her birthday with her friends in Sunday Bible School.

        I started to make the decoration two weeks before Angela’s birthday and each time I bought something new for the party… here are the decorations I made.

            And for the food that we prepared, I am very thankful to my neighbor, Ate Bing, for the big help on the preparations of the sweet treats. To my sissy Janet for her work of art on my party girl's name and specially for my friendship Badeth with the deco'arts inspiration and for the cupcake/candy plastic case.

             Celebrating Angela’s birthday is one of the most special occasions of our family. Although the weather isn’t that good that day, it never became a hindrance for us to enjoy and feel blessed with love and thankful hearts to God. Indeed, it was a happy, rainy yet blessed birthday party. All kids who went home with a big smile. Surely, they all had fun and enjoyed the night. We are all very happy and blessed with all the greetings coming from our friends, family, and to all who celebrated with us as we mark another year for our Angela who has filled our lives with so much joy and happiness.

Thank you for joining me on our Angela's sweet third birthday!

Blessing to everyone!
