Nyomi's 2nd Birthday Party...

If you happened to have read my previous posts, then you'd know that my little angel, Nyomi Anne, had just turned 2 the past Tuesday, the 24th, and had her birthday party the past Saturday, the 28th.

Before I continue though, I wanted to first share a picture of her actual party invitation card since the last one I posted on here was an e-invite image.

Anyway, the card says it all... The party was a Sesame Street inspired party...
In the hopes for at least a cloudy day, we still went ahead and decorated and set up the front and backyard...
But as expected, it sure wasn't a sunny day that swept the clouds away! LOL! The sun only came out for a bit and then mostly rain and it was really cold. So we had to move a lot of stuffs back in the house. And even though I've been stressing about the weather, thinking that it's gonna be too crowded inside the house... It actually wasn't so bad and we all had a great time!

Here's her Sweet Table that had to be set up at the garage LOL!!!
Remember my vent about the cake? LOL... Well, I still wish it had been done... I still wish the cake designer did not back out on me like that. But I'm glad that I found a not-so-bad one at Wal-Mart! LOL! I have to get two separate cakes though to make it a two-tiered cake myself because if you ask for a two tier cake made, they consider it as a wedding cake and it costs a whole lot LOL!!! Weird and stupid but oh well... I found something ok so I'm not gonna throw a fit.
Ahhh the sesame street cupcakes... simply made out of colored icings, candy melts, peanut m&ms, oreos, chips ahoy and bugles chips! LOL!!!!!
Here's the lamp post that Noel made and the backdrop. I got this image from Aaron over at flickr, with permission to edit and use of course. I am also planning to sell the backdrop too but I have to go to the post office to check the shipping prices before I do. So if you're having a sesame street party in the future... let me know! I will definitely set up my etsy soon ;)
And yay! The happy birthday girl! She really had a blast! And I'm glad she did!!! Everything paid off! And thanks to those who came and joined the fun! If you're wondering where are the pictures of the food... uh... LOL... I didn't get to take much shot of it... a lot of our friends came early so as soon as the dish is ready... serve! LOL!

Now before I sign off... And aside from my family that helped made this party happened, there are certain friends and vendors that I want to give credit to...

1. Rhodora Suematsu (Nyomi's Godmother) - For the party decors!!! I couldn't have done it without her support LOL!
2. Hanna Boyle (Nyomi's Godmother) - For the large street signs and the backdrop.
3. Shop Sweet Lulu - For the pretty packaging supplies
4. HeyYoYo - For the cupcake liners

Nyomi's ONEderPOOL Birthday...

My princess, Nyomi Anne, turned 1 just the past sunday, April 24th. Yep, lil easter baby... and I've been working on her party decor together with my hubby, Noel, for over a month... so I just had to share her pool party with you all.

Just a piece of advice though... if and when you have an upcoming event/party... DO hire a photographer LOL! (Or have a friend help you out)... I made a mistake by trying to save me some money, thinking that we could pull it off... but then... set ups, decorating, cooking, entertaining the guests, taking care of the birthday girl... errr... let's just say, I didn't get to layout all the decorations that I did, and I didn't get to take the pictures of all of those I have putted out. Nevertheless... we had a great time and hope you'll enjoy it too...
