Thankful Thursday 3
1) I'm thankful for a beautiful week that God has given us. Even if things are quite busy but we still get to spend quality time with family.
2) I'm thankful for God's constant direction in our lives. Even if there are still some 'uncertainties' or decisions that has to be made for the future, but we trust that He will eventually reveal to us and lead us to the right 'path' as we seek His will.
3) I'm thankful for friends which we consider as family constantly around us to work with, to encourage each other and pray with.
4) I'm thankful that God gave us great, loving and godly parents. Last June 27th was my father's 4th death anniversary, we miss him a lot but will for ever be greatful to God for giving us such a great father.

Weeky Fest # 1
I'm joining the Weekly Fest from the Pinay Mommy Community and this time we're going to post about some 4th birthday party ideas. This week's fest is hosted by The Nambiars .
We'll it's just timely since my daughter just turned four last May and she extremely enjoyed her birthday celebration.
Here are some of my party ideas:
1) Create a theme. It could be your child's favorite cartoon character or favorite color. All these can be visible in the decorations, banners, party bags, party hats and etc. If we're in Cagayan de Oro, I would show you the place to buy cheap party stuff..hehehe! It's called DD Toys in JR Borja st. :) If you have the budget, you could even let your li'l one dress up in his/her favorite character.
2) Settle for finger foods and not the ones that needed so much of preparation, and clean up . It just doesn't save you time but money as well.
3) Sing some songs and play some games! 4 years and above is the time when they enjoy their birthday parties and when they can actually join the games. Our favorite party games where both kids and parents have fun : The Longest Line, Maria Went to Town ( dressing up relay) , Boiled Egg Catching ( parent and child).
4) Give some thank you tokens or party bags to all the other children. This can range from small simple toys to sweets. Let the celebrant personally give these out to the other kids. It will teach them to not just receive gifts but also to give.
5) Let the birthday celebrant be involved in the party preparation. This will make his/her birthday more memorable. Let him/her help decorate the cake, blow up the balloons or do anything.
That's all I could think of now. If you're interested to see my post for my daughter's 4th birthday celebration , then click HERE.
