Jo-Lo's First Birthday!

Oh wow. I'm having a most hectic week in Manila. Our company is a sponsor to the Call Center Conference happening at Edsa Shangri-La. We had our ingress last Monday, from 8PM til 6AM! I only had a half hour sleep, slouched on one of the chairs in our booth. Then I had to man the booth for Tuesday and Wednesday (along with some help from colleagues who drop by, and with Pauline of course) and go back and forth the office and the trade show floor for some needed items. But of course, you also have to always show a smiling face and alertly entertain guests. Ah well ... one of the "perks" being in Marketing I guess.

Enough about that. I'm here to share with you some photos of last weekend's big event: Jo-Lo's first birthday! I'm selecting some photos for this blog, then feel free to follow the link after this post to visit other blogs for more photos!

Jo-Lo had clowns and superhero-themed cake on his birthday! The clowns performed tricks and the kids had games as well.
Friends from Manila took time out from their busy schedules to celebrate the day with us.

Some of the grown-ups participated in a relay game.
Nearing the end of the party, the kids lined up to claim their goody bags.
Ummm... okay, so the "bigger kids" got into the act as well. :-)
Guests wrote their greetings on the birthday banner before leaving. Thanks again everyone!
