A grand 1st birthday

Lourdes Julia “Louie” Mapa, eldest daughter of JB and Marides Ciocon-Mapa, recently celebrated her first birthday with a grand bash at the main ballroom of their family's L'Fisher Hotel, Bacolod City .

Julia was a sight to behold in her polka dot dress. Proud grandpa Roseller and grandma Ditas were all smiles in welcoming their guests to the party of their first grandchild.

The entrance towards the ballroom revealed that a great children's party was to take place. The whole corridor was filled with balloons while a ticket booth was strategically located right at the main entrance of the ballroom.

Guests were given coupons for the goodies. The entire ballroom was transformed into a circus-themed venue. There were jugglers, inflatable playgrounds, and lots of booths for kids.

Buffet tables were likewise filled with delectable party delights. Games and prizes kept the fun fever high. Baby Julia, a look-a-like of her mother, was in a playful and dancing mood. Children and adults alike enjoyed the bash.

Congratulations to Marides for giving birth to a healthy baby boy Nino!
