Nica met Hannah Montana!

Nica was invited to attend her classmate, Ariana’s 6th birthday. They hired an impersonator to host the party. She sang a song, did the girl’s make-up, asked some questions (to give out bracelet to winners), taught them how to dance as a rockstar all for a $200 fee.
For snacks I missed the spaghetti and pancit back in the Phils. It’s a good thing we had heavy lunch at KFC before going to the party. They had healthy “alternatives” such as fruits on barbeque sticks (actually a good idea!), crackers, cheese cubes, marshmallows, popcorn, cake, hotdog sandwich, carrots and cucumber with dip.
Instead of parlor games the kids get to enjoy the toys in the Daycare where the party was held. I think it was a different & fun way of celebrating! Here’s a video of the dance.. enjoy!

Tim is Ten

We celebrated Tim’s 10th birthday differently. He expected it to be sad because we did not have many relatives here who will be giving him gifts.

So his Dad surprised him with an MP4 (which I found to be expensive!) while I gave him a CD-ROM (computer game). His Nanny gave him $10 as gift which he spent to buy pizza. We also bought Ice cream and he ordered 2 types of cake slices to replace the usual birthday cake.

That still did not make his day so the next day we had breakfast at MR. SUB before hearing mass, went swimming in the afternoon and had Swiss Chalet dinner (this was his wish for his birthday) of chicken, ribs, mashed potato and corn c/o Tita Poch. But I know he is already looking forward to Christmas when he can open more than 2 gifts
