The Baptism finally happened. I wanted to leap for joy on Monday, when I looked back on what a great success it was ... but I could not. I've been fighting getting sick all of last week and on Monday it hit me h ard. I cleaned (disinfected my house from the party) my butt off and helped the husband with another paper til late hours ... so I was really asking for it. Yesterday and today has been a battle. I've been pushing myself with every inch to keep going with mommy duties.
It was actually pretty funny because I was like the walking dead yesterday. My father found me laying on the playing matt watching my kids play together. He looked a little worried because I know it was hard to see that my eyes were still open. He said goodbye to his granddaughter and left. Ten minutes later, he came back, handed my daughter a doughnut, and gave me a lite late. I really wished someone would take them from me for 10 minutes, but the lite late was a noble gesture esp coming from my Dad.
As promised, here's a nice little run down on B-day
Some of the highlights of the menu were...
Osso Buco, Baked Salmon, Pod Kee Mao, Thai Beef
Oh there was sOOO much more food but those were some of my favorites.
I am drooling thinking about them. Yummy Yummy.
(It's very common to find crazy combo of food like Italian and Thai in our house)

Everything was handmade minus the Thai food. We got it catered by this place called Pawana in Englewood, NJ. They are super nice and the food is super tasty. If ever you get a chance go eat there!
Those were my giveaways. Remember the pictures you guys voted on? And my handmade chocolate lollipops.
Here is my favorite picture of my little man. He doesn't have pictures because he went to sleep.
My friend Reilin took this pic. He's so handsome!
I wasn't so sure about what I was wearing for the Christening because I feel so out of it. Here is a great shot where you can see my whole unsamble.
*tehehehe. Hello Gee. Rob, you're gonna love me! I'm not going nowhere*
(Did I have to stand next to the tallest person? This is one of my fav couples Gee and Rob)
On Monday, I was looking through Parents magazine and saw Reese Witherspoon wearing the same top on page 24! *sigh* "It's cool I got it, I got it, I got it" LOL
I think my husband had a lot of fun ... just like he did in our daughter's christening.
Ahhh. Damn those Asians and their Karaoke.
My daughter found a new best friend. We are on the process of scheduling play dates.
They've always been friends, but I guess nothing seals the deal more than letting another person play with your toys.
AHHHh. I'm happy it finally happened. My son is now part of God's Army. Yay!
As promised, here's a nice little run down on B-day
