All dolled up at 4

4th Birthday Party
Originally uploaded by kitakitts

Months before, it has been decided that she will have a Barbie Themed Party when she turns four. I thought this time it'll be stress-free as we're only planning to celebrate her birthday together with her classmates.

Food: Chicken and Spaghetti Meal w/ Pineapple drink, Chocolate Sundae from Jollibee
So I thought I'd order food and have it delivered from Jollibee. Turns out, they have a minimum P3k worth of food for delivery services. I would've preferred if they delivered na lang even if I have to pay a fee. After much discussion, I just paid the food in advance and pick it up on the day itself. Sort of an advance order for pick-up at 9:30 am.

I have 3 missed calls from an unknown number. I also received a text message from a Jollibee crew confirming my order. So I called and confirmed I'll be there by 9:30am as previously agreed. We were probably 5 minutes early and I was expecting majority of the food was boxed up and ready to go. However, it was only when we arrived did they start to prepare so we have to wait for 15mins maybe. I assumed they were just concerned with the quality of food and just waited for me before packing.

We got to the school at around 10am. Hubby left to pickup the cake from SM Dasma. A couple of minutes after, teacher Yen gave the go signal to bring in the food already. Good thing I remembered the party stuffs we bought from previous trip to the mall. One of the little girl's wish is to have flaglets for deco.

While serving the food to the chikitings, I regretted not preparing placemat for them. Not that anyone requested for it, still I promised myself next time I'll make some :D A good thirty minutes has passed and the husband arrived with the cake on hand.

From this point, majority of the kids has finished eating already. My daughter was so happy, she kept looking at her classmates and barely touched her food. Teacher Yen gathered the kids around the cake, everybody sang the birthday song and the little girl blew the candles.



She couldn't wait to give out the lunch boxes herself to each of her classmates. Afterwards, we cleaned up and expressed our gratitude to teacher yen for letting us hold the party during her class. We just stayed outside and waited for Dani's class to be over.

On the way home, she said: Mommy, this is the best birthday party ever. She kept saying that the whole time. For her, just a simple party with her friends is enough. No expensive gifts with Ferrari parts or anything.
