Shella May turns 7 today and it has been quite the birthday week. Today she was all ready to take her treats to school for her birthday and we had a snow day. We don't get them often in MN, so it is a real treat for us. We aren't really doing much special for her birthday today because we had thought we would be busy with school and church. We just keep telling her happy birthday and she is getting birthday wishes by phone and email. On Saturday we had her family birthday party. My mom came over and I made a Filipino dinner. I tried to make Pancit, Chicken Adobo and rice. We bought some mango juice for her to drink and we had birthday cake for dessert. She opened all the gifts from family and had a nice night.
On Sunday we invited a few friends over for a friend party. I went for a traditional party of games, presents and cake. They played pin the tail on the donkey and a few other games from my childhood. She opened the gifts and loved it because her friends gave her toys (unlike boring family that gave her clothes:) They went outside for about 15 minutes also because there was a lot of energy in the sugar-filled kindergartners. Overall, I think it was a fun 2 hours for her.

Shella May looks so happy alongside her birthday cake. It sounds like she enjoyed her party and presents. What did she think of the Filipino meal that you prepared? I'm sure that it was delicious!
What a special day! She looks so happy!
Happy birthday, Shella May!! How did the food turn out? You should share the recipes you used!
snow day -- neat! :-) Both celebrations sound like a lot of fun. happy birthday to Shella May!
It looks like she had fun! I'm sure she enjoyed some familiar foods from her native land.
Happy 7th Birthday Shella May!!! Looks like she had a great time celebrating. Pancit is something I hope to make when Levi turns two. Isn't it a noodle-type dish?? I am trying to remember as I think our social worker told us that it gives wishes of a "long life" to those that eat it on their birthday.
