Preparing for Fifi's 1st Birthday

Time flies when you're having fun and indeed it flew really fast. Next month, my little Fifi will be 1-year-old. She will be a toddler and no longer an infant. I would love for her to stay an infant, but she has to grow and there's nothing I could do about it. I just have to enjoy everyday that I spend with her.

Hubby and I talked about what we will do for her birthday. I made some lists of stuff  that we need and things that needs to be done. Next month is also mardi gras celebration here in Louisiana. There would be mardi gras parade and fairs all over the state. Mardi gras parade passes by our house every year, and it has been our tradition to invite family members over and do barbeque parties while watching it. Since Fifi's birthday is on February 11 and the parade is on February 14, we decided to have her birthday on the 14th.

We would rent a spacewalk for the kids to play and jump on and we would set up tents and tables in the front yard. In addition to the usual hamburgers and hotdogs, my FIL will cook some gumbo (a local cuisine here in Lousiana), and mind you, he cooks the best gumbo in town, I would prepare some lumpia (spring rolls) and ofcourse pancit for long life... I am excited about it, and hubby said it seems like I am the one celebrating the birthday and not Fifi.. LOL..
