Alexis' 1st Birthday Party...better late than never...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEXIS!!!
Alexis had her 1st birthday party January 20, 2007 at Jaycee's Community Center in Oxon Hill, MD. It was actually a pretty big bash considering the party went from 4-9:30 and there were about 100 guest there. We had alot of food there that Mamang and Auntie Aileen prepared. For example...

(1/2 of the room-there were sooooo many people there)

2 kinds of mixed veggies

300 halves of lumpia*
100 veggie eggrolls

two bags of rolls from Sam’s

Of course, by the time me and Auntie Aileen sat down to eat everything was gone!!! Everything was pretty much gone a good half hour after serving...but everyone seemed to enjoy the food!
Alexis was shy of course, because she really didn't know anyone, but began to warm up to some. Did I mention there was a clown by the name of Teddy and a Pinata full of candy!!!
