All of the effort and tiredness are all paid off. Not by money, but with satisfaction and happiness that my guests had shown at my open-house. The feeling of freaking out was worth it and later felt as sweet as candy. It wasn't a blast, my small social event. But I know they enjoyed themselves as much as I did.
The weather was perfect, praised to God. Sun shined impeccably on that very day. It kicked off later than planned. In fact, no one appear at 11am (my invitation was from 11 to 6). But starting at 1.30pm, they came like a whole lot bunch crowd of people, so our small crib became full. Not all of my guests showed up tho. But I understand, they have more important business to settle.
As usual, I didn't snap so many picture. Of course I was busy entertaining my companions. The only entertainment we had was the Xbox. Oh, kids loved that machine so much. So does the adults but the children didn't give the chance for us so we just keep yakking among us. Guess what, they stayed until 8pm! We were more than happy to have them stayed longer.
