Soleil's 7th Birthday

I was planning Soleil's birthday since April this year. I have so many plans, my initial pick was a Barbie themed birthday party. No clowns and magicians, just full of activities for the kiddos. I also don't want it to become like a mini debut cos at 7 years old, I know my daughter is still a baby. No need to rush. Honestly, 7th birthday parties with 7 roses and stuff don't impress me.

I'm all ready, I even asked some of my friends to help me organize but Soleil doesn't want it from the start, all she want is to have a swimming party and to buy toys. That simple!

I remember one of our conversations where she was telling me she wants to have a swimming party and I told her we are having an indoor party, she told me it's her birthday, not mine. May point! Jeff agreed with her. So, swimming party it is, wala na kong nasabi!

Her first choice was St. Agatha Resort where she celebrated her 5th birthday but Lola Corazon became her recent fav since we went there a few weeks ago. Lola Corazon is a nice resort too. We also consider the place despite it being so far from where we live cos my family and friends have never been there before.

We celebrated Soleil's birthday last Saturday, October 6. We arrived there around 2:30 pm. We had lunch then I started decorating the dessert buffet table with the help of my super reklamador husband. (More on the dessert buffet on my next post).

Most of the foods are with my Ate who arrived the latest. All of us are already hungry!!! Soleil blew her bday candles first then we all dug into dinner.

My only pic that night. I was too busy I even forgot to have a picture with my bday girl

It is only now that I realized we don't have much photos that night. After dinner, no one seems to hold the camera to take pictures. Darn!
