It has been three weeks since this party. I apologize for the delay. Finding time to update my blog is difficult in the past few weeks.
------------------
In the past, we usually have our kids baptized as soon as they hit their first month. This time, we chose to delay Bettina's baptism so we can celebrate it together with Johann's birthday. She turned 2-months old on the day she was baptized. She was baptized at the Our Lady of Pentecost Parish, where Javi was also baptized.
I got Verleo to supply the food. I wasn't completely satisfied with their food, though people liked Fish with Aioli. Some of their waiters weren't as seasoned as the ones from Albergus or La Comida. Maybe that is why the two cakes from Layers and Layers had "imperfect spots."
It was supposed to be a no-fuss party. In fact, I just planned on sending text messages as invitations. Then it occurred to me that we had to have invitations so people would know we're having a double celebration. Luckily, my ever dependable cousin-in-law came up with this two weeks before the party.
We just wanted a simple get-together of family and friends. There were no games, no hosts, no special carts. I just rented an inflatable bounce to keep the kids entertained. The kids certainly had fun. Most of them went home sweaty and tired. Johann said he enjoyed the inflatable. He looked like a Basang Sisiw when the party ended.
Javi finally managed to smile for the camera. He was very unsociable in the beginning because of his teeth. You may read more about that here.
It was a busy day but we managed to get a family picture when the guests left.
If only I didn't forget to give out the cupcakes I made for the godparents, every thing would have worked out as planned.
