We had a simple celebration at home for Kuya Miguel’s 4th birthday last January 5, 2022. Because of the circumstances, we thought it best to still not invite friends and relatives over and just cook children’s party food for lunch at home. In the end, it was the happiness brought by being together that made Miguel's birthday celebration extra special for us.

Even if we were just celebrating at home, we wanted to make it fun for our kids so we still came up with a birthday theme. We opted for an astronaut and outer space theme for Miguel’s 4th birthday because his interest in Cocomelon’s Planet Song was rekindled last month.

To be able to realize this theme, we just ordered a backdrop, balloons, cakes, cupcakes, and shirts carrying an outer space design. Thanks to Shopee, we were able to buy the materials that we needed.

For Miguel’s birthday cake and cupcakes, we ordered from Charm’s Cakes and Cupcakes, makers of premium customized fondant cakes and cupcakes in Metro Manila. We were impressed with how good-looking the cake and cupcakes were when they arrived.

We were just glad because, even if we were just celebrating at home, we were still able to make it joyful for our kids through this cake from Charm’s Cakes and Cupcakes. Rafa, most especially, had his eyes on the astronaut fondant and he kept on trying to snatch it even before our celebration started.

By the way, we had a very minute concern when the cake arrived because it had the number one on top of it instead of the number 4. Mommy Khris informed Charm’s Cakes and Cupcakes about it and they just said sorry for the mistake.

However, in just a few minutes, we received a call from Lalamove informing us of a delivery. It turned out Charm’s Cakes and Cupcakes sent the correct number. The number 1 was perfectly fine with us because the cake looked very beautiful but we appreciated the gesture of Charm’s Cakes and Cupcakes.

Aside from looking amazing, the cake and cupcakes also tasted good. As such, we highly recommend Charm’s Cakes and Cupcakes for your theme cake needs for any occasion.

If you want to order from Charm’s Cakes and Cupcakes, they are located at 789 Quirino Highway, Quezon City. You can check their designs on Instagram or www.charmscakes.com.

We prepared simple birthday party food items for the kids. There was sweet spaghetti, pork barbecue, and fried chicken. In the end, we were just glad to be able to celebrate Kuya Miguel’s 4th birthday and see our two kids grow healthy and happy.

No matter how simple celebrations are, they become more meaningful and unforgettable as long as you are with your loved ones and you are happy. This is Miguel’s third pandemic birthday, just the same, we are happy because he is growing up to be a sweet and jolly young boy.

Time indeed flies so fast. I can still vividly remember when we were waiting for his birth in the hospital and now he is a tall four-year-old.

We can only wish for him to grow up to be a confident and responsible man who is not afraid to stand up for what is right.

Happy Birthday, Kuya Miguel! We love you, Anak!
