Today, we attended the double birthday celebration of Luna and Tala at McDonald's Blue Ridge.
I was a little worried that we couldn't attend the girls' party because Dylan had been sick in the past few days. I hate backing out when I've already said we would be attending. But when Saturday came and he was a little better, I knew that we would make it.
I was also a bit apprehensive because we would be going to the party without Patrick since he usually drives and is more knowledgeable about going to and from places (in other words, driver! haha) If we took a cab, the driver might drive us around in a circuitous route and I wouldn't even notice. So, I asked our P4 family if we could hitch a ride with them in going to the venue. Yay! We could! Problem solved. It was easier going to P4 since I'm more familiar with the route.
So, we three immediately set out for Cubao in the morning. We took the LRT-2 train because it was faster and more comfortable. They had a new ticketing system where you just tap the card at the turnstile. Before, you have to insert the card and get it back before you could enter. Dylan was very excited to ride :)
In Cubao, we walked around Farmers Plaza in search of a plaid shirt for Dana and some gift ideas for friends for Christmas. We had lunch at Karate Kid and we tried out their new Mura Ito meals, P99 for chicken, fish, pork, squid with teriyaki sauce and rice and a drink. I knew Dylan was still recovering because he couldn't finish his meal. Dana enjoyed the chicken. I chose the fish and it was good too.
After this we went to P4 at 3PM. We didn't want to be late and cause them to be late too. By the time we got there, they were still preparing :)
On to the party! We arrived at McDonald's as they were setting up so we just sat down at one of the tables. The younger kids immediately went to play in the activity area so the mommies and the daddies had time to talk and catch up.
Bito gave some welcome remarks :)
Then everyone sang Happy Birthday!
The guests participated in the games. A hilarious "Hep Hep McDo" game got everyone with stitches on their sides. "The longest belt" was a competitive yet funny game that revealed who wears the longest belt hahaha The kids were also asked to bring the "Most Beautiful Mommy" and they ended up singing the "Lupang Hinirang". The picture below was the game "Arrange Yourselves according to..." It was such a fun game as you can see from the photos. The guests were asked to sort themselves according to waist line figures, number of ex-bf's and ex-gf's, first letter of their first names and then last letter of their last names, and then finally their ages. Everyone had a blast!
After the games, everyone got seated to eat. There was so much food! We were all served Chicken and McSpaghetti, McChicken sandwiches, Quarter Pounder and French Fries, Drinks (Soda and Orange Juice) and Sundaes so thick you can turn them upside down and they won't drip! Yummy!
Everyone became excited when Grimace came out! Sole especially loved him coz he was so soft hahaha
We had so much fun because we were in the company of family and friends. The party continued on at P4 with the younger kids playing in one room, the teen-aged kids in another and the adults just drank wine and beer.
Happy birthday Luna and Tala and Thank You for inviting us to celebrate with you. Love you both!
You know how they say that your children's teachers are their 2nd parents? It's true in Dylan's case.
Today was my Dad's 70th birthday celebration. A milestone event if there ever was one because this party brought our family together again, after a long, long time of being separated. If only Allan were here, we'd have been complete. 
Happy 3rd Birthday Sole!! It was a pleasure to be part of your birthday celebration! I hope you had so much fun as we did and I hope you treasure all these moments growing up :)
When the birthday celebration of Grayson Lucas ended at around 2PM, we took the chance to visit the PAF Aerospace Museum Aircraft Park, right on the grounds of the PAF Aerospace Museum. It was a great chance to be up close and personal with different historic aircraft used by the Philippine Air Force. This was the first time for me and the kids. Patrick visited the place when he chaperoned my niece Den during her field trip in school. 
Yesterday, we went to the PAF Aerospace Museum to celebrate Grayson Lucas' 1st birthday. We were all excited because the kids and I haven't been to the PAF Aerospace Museum before. So, this was a birthday party, a reunion and an educational field trip rolled into one!
Today, we went to Kenny Rogers Roasters in Katipunan to celebrate Pio's 4th Birthday. We left pretty early to avoid the traffic and we made it in time to slide into the last remaining slot in the parking :)
Another milestone in the Tadeo Family: Luke celebrated his 1st Birthday at Jollibee Pioneer! Yay! Happy birthday Luke and Congrats to Mommy Toni and Daddy Stevie!! :) It's so nice to see everyone again. Thank you for inviting us we had such a great time!! Daming pagkain!! :)
Happy 1st Birthday SOLE!
Today, we attended the double birthday celebration of Luna and Tala at McDonald's Blue Ridge. 
Kids grow up so fast and we couldn't believe that Stevie's only daughter, Hannah, is turning 7. When we celebrated the baptism of Luke last July, Toni mentioned Hannah's wishes of having a rockstar-themed birthday party. It looks like her wishes came true! Her party was held at the Loyola Grand Villas Clubhouse and it was really a day to be remembered!
Everyone woke up early excited to attend Daniel's 1st Birthday party. The invitation from Donna and Brian, whose wedding we also attended in 2012 and which I wrote about here, mentioned that the schedule for the party was 1030AM to 3PM and I knew then that it was going to be a blast, much like their wedding. So, we all trooped to the car and anticipated a great day (which it was) and read on to see what happened at the party!
We were invited by my former officemate and friend Bobbie to her son's 1st birthday bash held at the Oasis along Aurora Boulevard. It was a Madagscar/Safari themed party and we were all excited to attend.
