A baby’s first birthday is one of the most exciting occasions for parents. And the grandparents. To Jao and China Miguel, a fantasy winter birthday for their pretty firstborn.

Girls are ordinarily in pink, but not Mallory. China’s gorgeous mom, Mary Ann Chua, dressed her in blue Agent Grandma (check out the glam-ma shop for the cuties on Facebook).

It was a lovely gathering of Bataqueños and Laoagueños. I’m one fourth Bataqueño, so I sat with the empanada experts.

The ladies from the home of the great leaders.

This cupcake was heavenly. Will tell you more about it one of these days.

My warm wishes to baby Mallory and Jao and China , who are expecting another little one.
