Playing Dress-up and Having Tea




For her 7th birthday, my little sunshine wanted an all-girls' tea party. Since I didn't have my china, and had no energy (nor expertise) to whip up some scones, we opted for this quaint new tea parlor called Annabelle's Place.

The girls came in their frilly attires to sip tea and make believe they were grown-ups. We made fans, tattoed our arms and ate lots of tea cakes.

Happy birthday, Sabina!

    Thanks everyone! Sabs and I read all the greetings together, and recalled the memory she has of you all. She really did have fun. In the words of Jojo, 'feel na feel' niyang special siya, haha!

    Hey Ida, what a great idea for a kid's party! Sayang di ko na magaya. . . kasi my kids can't pretend to come in as grown ups anymore - - malalaki pa sa akin eh! :-) What a beautiful time, something that they will cherish forever. So happy for you!!!

    Hi Riza!!! Yes, I remember that too. Did you know that you were my first visitors then? I was so ministered to by your kindness. And I know that you conceived soon after that. That's why I feel that our sunshines are related somehow. Love you!

    Vicky! Long time no see! Makakarating kaya kayo dito? How are things there in Mindanao? I worry about you sometimes when I hear about the gulo.

    Hi Ida...God willing, I can go with Alvin in APEC...then I can see you. I hope we could have few minutes to sit and talk. Good to hear you remember us when you hear of Mindanao..no need to worry though coz we're too far from the war zone and Davao is the safest city so far. Regards.
