pictures from james' first birthday party~

venue: the place we had james' birthday party is called "dae dong manor" in flushing, ny. they hold all kinds of celebrations.. it was really nice, i highly recommend it. the TLC and food was off the charts and they were really accommodating to us. we did the buffet style, and the team manager got not only us food, but both our parents food because she knew we didn't have any time to eat. how nice! :) also they decorate everything for you so all you have to do is decorate your picture table and that's about it. very convenient.

you get to choose from different colors.. i chose light blue.

everything is included..

my DIY disney themed place cards

i d/led the walt disney font and used the label stickers and stuck it on construction paper.

going for it!

grandparents also thanking the guests for coming!

we also gave out raffle prizes and had our guests answer some questions. overall we had a blast.. i'm so thankful and grateful for everyone who came and for showing support and love to our family. james is so lucky to have such wonderful people around him and words will not express how thankful i am. it would be a lie if i said that it wasn't stressful planning a party for 100+ guests, but in the end it was all worth it! now it's time to plan for our wedding! yayy................. haha :)

photography: we were referred to this place called "baby president" in flushing, ny. not only were the pictures super cute (but fobby! =x), he was our mc and he offered to do it for free! awesomeness! not to mention he did a really great job at it too! all of our guests were super entertained and they were saying how much fun they had!

 the slideshow that we made:

HP7

honestly.. i don't like to read. yes, magazines included unless it's something really interesting from the cosmo (i basically just look through the pictures). ANYWAYS, went to go watch HP7 last night, and it was the best!!! so intense! ESP. because i didn't read any of the books. (yes, i know the book are way better but the movie is just fine so please stop telling me to read the fucking books the size of that thing intimidates the shit out of me.) i had a blast. there was a scene though where the 3d part got screwed up and everyone thought it was supposed to be like that, or they just didn't care because the movie became 3d again after about 5 minutes.. but as we were leaving the theater the staff gave out free imax tickets apologizing for the inconvenience. loved it!

so about the movie.. i feel like at some parts they could've made it more dramatic? and i don't understand why Snape wasn't there when hp was in the forest. if anything he was looking out for him from day 1! so surprised at that too. and it's so cool how the cast of HP grew so much. they were like little babies! now they're so mature and omg Hermione is sooooo pretty. i love her~ sigh.. i think i will just have to go watch it again.. can't get enough of it~
