Dolly’s milestone birthday was truly something to write home about. Heartfelt thanks to Dolly and her wonderful family who so lovingly planned this unforgettable celebration with her. If only Dolly had allowed it, her family would have gladly taken over the reins for their one and only sister.
With Dolly’s big family, the Sweet Magnolias, her classmates, and dear friends all gathered together, the house was filled with laughter, warmth, and happy chatter—a beautiful coming together of people who love her dearly.
One wall of the living room was transformed into a feast for the eyes and the palate. The grazing table was artfully and lavishly arranged with bite-sized delights—fresh fruits, pastries, nuts, cheeses, cold cuts, and flavorful dips. It was hard to know where to start!
The hot dishes were just as impressive. Simply looking at the spread made me feel full already: crunchy lechon, beef salpicao, lengua, chicken galantina, truffle pasta, stuffed prawns—each dish more tempting than the last.
Dessert was pure delight: a refreshing fruit salad with delicate ribbons of young fresh buko, rice cakes, and turon. The birthday cake followed, perfectly paired with coffee and more wine, as we sang to Dolly while she made her wish and blew out the candle.
As we enjoyed dinner, a talented three-man band serenaded us, filling the room with music while wine and beer flowed freely. After their first set, a saxophonist took over, enchanting us with beautiful melodies. Before long, we were singing along, dancing, and thoroughly enjoying ourselves.
Then came the surprise of the night—our very own Sweet Magnolia, Joy, affectionately known as the Zumba Queen! Her hilarious and exaggerated dance moves had us laughing nonstop, our throats dry from sheer amusement.
It was a milestone birthday celebration filled with good food, great music, hearty laughter, and even better company. Everyone went home happily—and gastronomically—full.
Once again, happy birthday, dear Dolly. Thank you for an amazing and memorable evening we will all cherish. 💖🎉
