I admit, I love fancy parties... the details, the chic-ness of it all.... But I would never in a heartbeat, miss the simplest type of get-togethers with people that matter so much to me...
I was raised in a typical neighborhood where life seemed so easy and simple, people were wonderfully kind and families were close-knit.. This may be why I look at things in a much simpler and more down-to-earth perspective... This is also one reason why I decided to hold this simple get-together at my grandmother's place...

Today, my little girl celebrated her 2nd birthday... After coming from her monthly medical check up and scheduled immunization, we headed to Tous Les Jours to get her a delicious chocolate icecream cake and proceeded to my lola's house in Bagumbayan. It also happened that one of my aunts, Mommy Abut was home for a quick vacation so we didn't waste the chance to be with her....

Almost everything had been given to Ching as gifts, from Kuya Leo's special homemade Ube-Queso Ice Cream (gift from Ninong Borge), to the super delicious Kare Kare from Nanay (my mom-in-law) and of course, the creamy spaghetti from my Mom.. Even the balloons were gifts from my good friend Ate Bernadette...
Our relatives from the neighborhood started coming in at 4PM and enjoyed the small get-together we prepared.... The atmosphere was so relaxed, everyone had fun, and we all had our fill of the delicious mini feast... We also had fun singing with my cousins and Ching instantly warmed up to my "kuyas".

Everyone also enjoyed the delicious Chocolate Ice Cream cake I got for her. I had it frozen for less than an hour and believe me, I've never seen a cake get wolfed down this fast... It was also my first time to have a taste at Tous Les Jours and I'm coming back for sure.

It had truly been a great day for us... A memorable "2nd" for our little angel...
