A Happy Fatterside Father’s Day

I love my Dad.

We love our Dads.

The older we get, the more responsibilities we bear, the more problems we face, the more sacrifices we make, the more we truly appreciate the very men who have selflessly gone through all this and more. For us.

Our Dads.

The older we get, the older our Dads get, too, and the younger we should strive to make them feel.

And so for this year’s Father’s Day, our frustrated events organizer cousin Frannie of Frannie Tales got everyone together for an outdoor Children’s Party themed dinner to celebrate this special occasion in honor of the young-at-heart senior citizens in our lives.

We had…

  Jingles who amazed us with her balloon twisting skills

 

These are Jingles’ balloon interpretations of Snow White and me. Tee hee hee.

 

Leodini who really didn’t fool us with his painting-to-live-dove, live-dove-to-live-duck magic tricks

 

Clowns who facilitated the program and games (the other clown was hiding)

 

Dirty ice cream vendor who elicited that big smile on Anton’s face

 

And of course, the most awaited part of the night… CHOW TIME!!!

Cousins and aunties lining up to conquer the buffet spread

 

Ferdinand, our designated lechon man, getting really nervous about the attack

 

Sabroso Lechon. One is never enough!
