Weekend Snapshot #82 - Yohan's 6th Birthday

To join this weekly meme, click here.

Yohan turned six years old last July 18. It has been six meaningful and wonderful years. Jules and I are grateful to God for giving us such a fun loving and sweet son.

Below are some photos of Yohan's birthday celebration at home...

Dinner time


One of the highlights of the evening was the game Yohan prepared for his grandmas, aunts and uncles. The game was called "How well do you know Yohan?" I helped my son prepare simple questions about himself and numbered them accordingly. I prepared small pieces of paper with nos. 1-14 and Yohan asked each guest to draw a number.

Yohan served as the Game Master. He read the questions one at a time. Each correct answer was equivalent to one prize. The prizes consisted of small practical items like mug, foldable hamper, lotion, powder, cologne, post-it pads with pencils, hand sanitizers, cellphone holder, chamois, etc. Guests who provided wrong answers were asked to return the numbers inside the container. There was a second round of question-and-answer for those who didn't make it on the first one. At the end, everyone got a prize. It was a simple yet fun game. Everyone had a great time especially the Game Master himself.

Two possible answers: Optimus Prime and Bumblebee

Chocolate Salami served with Kapeng Barako (Batangas coffee).


Yohan was very happy with the gifts he received that night...

Wow your husband cooked up a storm for the party ha. His culinary skills is impressive. It looks like the cuisine has a Japanese theme.

I'm curious though about the chocolate salami. It looks deliciously interesting! :D

That's a fun-filled birthday celebration. The food looks delicious! I love your games. We'll do this on my son's 7th birthday party next year. :) He didn't have a party for his 6th birthday that's why we're giving him one next year.

Looks like a great party. I wonder why you served mostly Japanese food.

Happy birthday to Yohan!

Tetcha said...

The foods look great, and what makes them more special is that they were all prepared by Yohan's Dad. You're quite lucky to have a husband who cooks delightful dishes for you. Belated happy birthday, Yohan!
