Time flies fast and the calendar turns in just a blink. Just two years ago, she was still inside my tummy, kicking and punching my insides, and maybe doing some summersaults. She has been an incredible baby and it has been a whimsical journey seeing her grow up so fast. It was like just yesterday she celebrated her first birthday, and now, we just finished partying with the neighbors on her second birthday.
Hubby and I decided to hold a simple birthday party in our house and just invite families and close friends for our little pearl's second birthday.
We asked Fritz's aunt to cook four yummy viands such as pork steak, kaldereta, relyenong bangus, and kare-kare. Then, his mom cooked her spaghetti (which is everybody's favorite) and menudo. We grilled some barbecues and ordered puto and lumpia from a trusted food caterer. My papa also added hotdogs with mallows on stick for the kiddos.

Game prizes were bought at Divisoria and candies for my mini candy buffet were bought at the supermarket. Oh by the way, her party theme for this year is Barbie. It wasn't that hard finding barbie candies, but looking for Barbie themed giveaways, prizes and loot bags was a challenge. I don't know, maybe Barbie is not moms' and kids' favorite anymore.

The birthday cake was my mom's gift to her first apo. It was a 12" soft chocolate chiffon cake with 6 pieces of moist chocolate pound cupcakes.

| yummy! |
We rented chairs and tables from my friend for a very low price. The clowns were from Reyes Party Needs, which is also from our neighborhood.
Here is the birthday girl getting dressed:

Some of the games for the children were the same old Brine Me and longest Happy Birthday. I readied a pabitin full of toys, candies and loot bags and a Pinata filled with chocolates. Here are some pictures during the game.
After the games, the clowns were now ready to showcase their magic talents.
Madge's second birthday was not really that extravagant but it was extra special because, of course, it's her birthday and it was held in our house, with families, friends and neighbors. I was actually overwhelmed with the guests since I do not know most of our neighbors. It's a surprise they all know my daughter.
Here's a look of the gorgeous guests on her party.
Yes, a simple celebration for an extra special Princess.
