92nd Birthday Celebration of Lolo Benny

We had a beautiful family celebration for Lolo’s 92nd birthday!  This was a very special birthday for Lolo because his birthday fell on the Feast of the Divine Mercy.  For Lolo this was such a blessing for him and this made him very very happy to celebrate on this special day

He only invited the family and his pilgrimage group and a very select few friends.  The theme was Moroccan though he insisted we order Japanese food from Sugi! 🙂  

Beautiful receptionists as you arrive

You are given two cards so you know what table you are assigned to – for dinner and for after dinner

4 Priests concelebrated the Holy Mass – Fr. Frias, Fr. Adorable, Msgr. Bernardo and Fr. Dennis!

 After the Holy Mass, was dinner

Decor was done by Rustan’s Flower shop – by my sister, Maricar.  In theme with his devotion to the Divine Mercy

After dinner, Fr. Caluag gave a surprise for Lolo Benny!!  Entertainment by Vina Morales! 🙂

 

The letter B for Benny made out of the gold Selecta ice cream cans which they lit with candles

 This to me was magical!  Beautiful Moroccan set up!!!!!!

All the third generation group photo – Thanks to Marie she brought us all to Morocco in this photo!  I told the family, one day I hope that we just do not imagine being in Morocco but actually be there 🙂  That’s my wish! 🙂

Thank you Gabby and Jia Estrella

for lending us your beautiful Majorelle furniture and accessories.  It was amazing how they transformed the place and brightened it up with the Moroccan touch! Jia told me that she went to Morocco and collaborated with her sister in law, Malou Jaidi and they worked closely with the suppliers there.  They provided the colors and designs and the manufacturers executed it.  Obviously they have good taste!  The merchandise is truly beautiful – Made in Morocco but made especially for the Philippine market – all available at Rustan’s
