My cousin's debut was held at a nearby hotel. When we arrived, Pia insisted on stopping and smelling the roses....uh make that lavender.
and then Zoe asked me to take a picture of her and her new necklace (it's on her head... don't ask)
When we finally got inside, we stopped to find our table...
sign the guest book...
pick up our giveaway
and take in all the special touches my aunt and cousin had planned.
Of course we had to take some photos...
my sister, her boyfriend and my girls
our little family
my hubby and me
my mom and my cousin
my cousin , me and zoe
my sister, me and Zoe
we took about 20 photos and this was the best one and pia is still not looking
my sisters and my now legal cousin
pia eating cheese cake and saying "cheese"
There were 18 special roses... this particular rose seemed to be just a little more special than the rest...
And there was a special performance by the debutante and my other cousins.
And what birthday wouldn't be complete without a cake?!?Happy Birthday Marion Anne! We Love you!!
P.S. Thank you for all your well wishes about being the MC for the evening. No one threw tomatoes or hissed at me, so I am assuming I wasn't half bad....

That's lovely! I'm so glad it went well for you as MC.
I forgot what a big deal the 18th birthday is in Filipino culture. I had an 18th but not a cotillion. And I did the 18 roses :) Great photos by the way.
I do remember my oldest brother's ex-gf had a cotillion and I though it was amazing. Like a wedding.

Looks like fun! A good friend of mine had a debut in highschool. It was almost like a second grad dance for our group of friends. It was really sweet to see all her family and friends together :)
i'm glad the MC'ing went well! so loved seeing all of your pictures of you and your family. it's really making me miss my big filipino extended family in CA : (.
So cute! Your little girls have matching outfits! Your mom looks hot!:)
This party was so pretty and your cousin's dress was gorgeous!
Your daughters are simply adorable. I love the peace sign in the photo with your sister and her boyfriend.
