Belle's Birthday Series: The Preparations

Belle has been asking me why can't she celebrate her birthday in school just like her classmates.  I always answer  -- because your birthday falls during summer so there's no class in school!  Before the end of the school year, I tried getting phone numbers of some parents of her classmates so we can invite them at home for a small celebration on her 6th birthday. She was very excited then! I'm glad that most of them were available to come last Saturday, May 26th.

Here are some of the preparations we made for the party.

The Invite (made by Daddy)

The Loot Bags (Hand made by Mommy, Belle helped in putting the goodies in the bags)

The Cake  - Lovingly made by Mommy and Daddy.

Tangled Castle Cake

The Cookies - I thought of other creative activities (aside from face and mask painting) during the party so I baked some sugar cookies ahead of time for the kids to decorate with royal icing.

I even stamped "BELLE 6" on each cookie :)

The activity was a HIT! Both the kids and the mommies enjoyed decorating the cookies.  I also got feedback that the cookies tasted so good!

Beautiful cookie creations

Balloons and other decorations (Special thanks to Tito Nathan and Tita Lani for inflating and arranging the balloons)

Good thing I have some of her 8R solo pictures

 

 

Pabitin and Pinata - hanging in the middle of our foyer!

I forgot to take pictures of the prizes,  the games were facilitated by Tita Rosevie and Tita Jamie.  They also conducted the face and mask painting activities during the party. Belle was so excited to see all her friends again!  And she keeps on thanking us for giving her a party :) Next year daw ulit!
