Hilltop Idyll: Little J Turns One!


I'm One!

It has been a month since Little J turned one and since I have been very busy with housework, I haven't posted the details of her party. Sarge and I have chosen to do the usual birthday party scene (McDonald's this time) since we were pressed for time and we did not want to have to choose separate venue, catering, entertainers, etc.

To those of you who are in the military and who have a husband who can get called to duty any time, I think you can relate. My husband received his orders to report for duty somewhere in the South last January 16 and that means that he only has 10 days to get his butt over there or he would be considered AWOL (absent without leave) and if you add 10 days to the 16th, that would be the 26th and since Little J's birthday falls on the 27th, we had to do some major facebooking , calling and texting to inform our guests that Little J's first birthday party has been moved to the 23rd instead of the 30th. We were glad that we chose to have the party at McDonald's Forbes Town (yes we live in Angono and since majority of our invitees live in the Fort Bonifacio area, we chose this venue) which meant that we only had to deal with one vendor. The downside of that was that few kids got to go to the party which meant few kids got to participate in the games. Major sad face here! There were only seven kids who played! A parent's nightmare, I tell you but nonetheless, we enjoyed the day as we were able to celebrate with our close friends and family. Again, I'd like to thank those who attended the party, you made Little J's party a memorable one. Here are some pictures of the event:
