Sofia turned 6 last Saturday.
We had a few of her friends, and her godparents over for merienda to celebrate her birthday in Princess Sofia the First style. I absolutely put my foot down about throwing her a full-blown party, which in the Philippines is normally done when kids celebrate either their first or their seventh birthdays, until she turns 7.
Even for our simple merienda celebration, Sofia and I have been planning for months! My trip to the party favors store in Hong Kong made things easy because we were able to buy Princess party stuff. We were excited to plan the the giveaways and the activities so we did this around two months in advance.
Sof normally starts celebrating her birthday the night before as we wait for midnight.
 |
I prepared what I could for the party before she went home.
She was so excited, and with typhoon Santi in the vicinity,
we were both praying for good weather. |
 |
I also allowed her to open my gift the night before.
The trampoline was so big, yaya wrapped it
in a bedsheet. |
 |
Sof loved her trampoline so much, she used it for everything.
It came in handy as party entertainment too. |
 |
Sof also opened lola Celita's gift,
and got lolo to teach her how to play pool. |
 |
| Lola yaya gave Fi the bowling set she asked for. |
Sofia was so excited, I don't even remember how we got her to sleep.
 |
The next day, Fi was opening more presents as she was
getting her nails done. Thanks fat ninong for the disney
protective head gear to go with her skateboard. |
 |
| Thanks Ninang Ads for the Mike costume. |
After playing some more with her new toys, Sof barely had time to get into her full princess gear before her ICA/Kindex friends started to arrive.
 |
| The ICAn Princesses |
The girls wore their tiaras, picked out their jewels and nail polish, and waited for their turn to get their nails done.
 |
| Kailyn had Nail Art Pedi. |
 |
Andie had Nail Art Mani.
She was so careful while her nails were drying. |
 |
Jillie was so cute. She was initially shy to play with the older kids,
but she lined up to get nail art mani and pedi,
And she had it retouched when some nails got damaged from playing, |
The kids were happy enough to entertain themselves jumping on the trampoline, playing with Sofia's toys and watching Sofia the first videos.
 |
| Posh Lilypots is so cute. She's the carbon copy of Achi Mia. |
 |
| Jillie was playing and jumping once she warmed up. |
 |
| The kids had popcorn as they watched "Once Upon a Princess". |
 |
| The princesses coloring their Sofia the First coloring books. |
 |
Princess Sofia and Princess Andie,
friends from birth, making tea. |
 |
| Ninong Jacob with the ICAn Princesses. |
All the other guests were busy eating (and watching the basketball game).
 |
| Sofia asked her gammy to cook her favorites for her party. |
 |
Sof also asked gammy to make all her favorite desserts,
including Sofia-sized apple dumplings |
