The Party’s over… finally!

I thought nobody’s coming aside from Michelle and family (husband and 2 kids), my sister from LA with her husband, Sabiha (one of the nurses that I’ve placed) and her family (they also come with my sister from LA) and Analyn with her bf (Scott) and his 2 kids. I almost cancel the party because I invited a lot of people but only one of them RSVP (Michelle). I don’t know if I need to cook or what. I actually don’t know how to cook and I’m depending to my best friend here (Analyn) but I’m not really sure if she can help me cook since she went to Gardnerville for the night but she’s so nice she come up early and help me do everything. I cannot do it without her and my sister Myrna. They get so tired though:-( One of the cakes that I baked (cake for Robby/Thomas the Tank Engine Cake) is a mess. I did not wait ‘till it cool down, that’s why:-). We only have one cake (For Rachel/Barney cake) but its okay because Robby get so tired and exhausted playing with 12 kids, he went to our place early and I can’t find him so Rachel blow her candle without any problem. We did not cook all the food that I need to serve just bihon/pansit, cassava cake, fruit salad, chicken salad, pizza, ham (not filled with cheese because I don't know how to cut it), spring roll/lumpia (2 kinds), cake and ice cream because I don’t have any idea who is coming. I invited 27 kids all in all but some of them like the Alviso Family went for vacation in Mexico and they just arrived that day so they are so tired and cannot make it, some of them got confused about the date and went to our house late (the next day) and some of them are too far away (4 to 5 hrs drive). We’re just so glad that the Brach Family came even though it’s a long drive for them (more than 2 hrs.). Everybody have fun except that I missed my sister. We did not even have a picture together. They drive from LA to here and 12hrs going back to LA because they used a different route. It makes me feel guilty that I never spend time with her. I also did not take any picture at the party just a short video but my sister took some so I thank her for that. I did not do any games since the kids are all busy anyway playing with the long balloons outside, inside and upstairs. The kids also played “Simon says” upstairs and some of them played ball outside after they popped the balloons. The parents are also happy just talking to each other specially me:-) 2 of my friends from church that I never saw for a long time came over (Adelle and Michele). The kids also enjoy the T-shirts with Robby, Rachel, Barney and Thomas and the goody bag full of candies.
