Sunday . . . A Day Meant for the Family

Sunday is normally a day reserved for families.  A time for bonding and creating those moments meant to be remembered. Last May 25, 2014 was a day between friends and families.  It was a day of celebration.  A day of food, games and fun moments.

It was a warm Sunday and a perfect day for a triple celebration.  Along with my partner, we went to San Pablo Laguna to attend a triple birthday celebration.  It was a long trip coming from Alabang; a trip that was thankfully uneventful and light in traffic during the time we were on the road. I was hoping for rain but it was not my event so I simply followed the rules of nature that day.

Themed as:  The Greatest Circus in Town, it was originally a kiddy party for Cedric (also known as Ceddie- age 6 ) and Persues (aka Percy - age 1) but since May also has another celebrator, it became a kiddy party for guest but a family event for friends of the family concerned.  Oh, the other celebrator?  It's Zyra; a friend, my godchild and mother of Ceddie and Percy respectively.

It was a busy day for them; with foods to prepare, guest to entertain and friends that make kulit to them every moment possible.  There were no quite moment for them. We were forwarned to prepare our sweet tooth and true to behold, there was a sweet tooth island in the party area.  Jelly beans, marshmallows in different shapes and length, waffers, chocolates in gold coins and sticks in form and a fondue to boot.  Typical of any kiddy party, spaghetti is not to be absent from the food list, that is if you are a Filipino (hehehehe!). With a good food selection, it was up to us to fill our plates to our liking.  While the kids are out enjoying the games prepared for them, we were enjoying the food.

Pabitin, piñata and goodie treats, it was an afternoon really set for kids.  For the kid's at heart, it was a different matter.  For us, our entertainment comes in the form of sprayed strings and snows, food and puppies. Yes, puppies; 4 adorable 1 month old local bred of puppies. And I get to have one in two months time (hehehe!).

This was one party that was raining with cakes. From Red Ribbon (2 cakes), Tous Les Jours (2 cakes) and from yours truly. It was a sweet day indeed. Since Ceddie is the older brother, it was a treat for him to blow all the lighted candles.

Here is an image of the cake that I have made for the event.  Its a chocolate cake with maple icing and topped with bitter brownie crumble.

Sunday events are indeed for the family. Events that are to be treasured and considered above, under and beyond the rainbow.
