Celebrity couple John Prats and Isabel Oli celebrated the first birthday of their youngest daughter, Forest, with a teddy bear-themed party at home.
The loving parents took to their respective Instagram accounts to give fans glimpses from the said celebration for Forest last Saturday, July 17.
Prats expressed his gratitude to those who made the intimate celebration possible inside Prats’ own garage, as per his page yesterday. He also thanked his wife and noted that she was “sobrang busy sa pag ayos ng lahat (very busy setting everything up).”
The party was full of several cut-outs of teddy bears, as well as little stuffed ones placed on tables. The Prats, meanwhile, were all dressed in yellow attires, with baby Forest donning a cute yellow dress.
On Forest’s actual birthday last Saturday, Prats penned a short yet heartfelt letter for his daughter and posted it also on Instagram.
“Blessed 1st birthday my bunso. Sobrang saya ng puso ko at kasama ko kayo ngayong kaarawan mo. Maraming salamat sayo @forestprats sa ligayang dala mo sa aming lahat. Lagi lang kami andito ng mama mo para sa inyo. I love you anak!” Prats said.
(A blessed 1st birthday to my youngest child. My heart is very happy to be with you on your birthday. Thank you very much, Forest Prats, for the joy you bring to us all. Your mama and I are always here for you. I love you, my child.)
Oli likewise shared several more photos from the celebration while also thanking the teams behind the design and the food, which were also adorned with adorable teddy bear designs.
Oli also showed in another post that her family, which she fondly calls “The Pratties,” also donned matching rompers at one point during the party.
In her own open letter for her daughter, Oli shared on Instagram last Saturday that Forest’s birthday “was really quite unique and up til now, I still marvel how we were able to pull it through.”
“It’s been a year since, but not a day goes by that I don’t thank God for guiding and protecting us that day. The days leading to your [birthday] were quite nerve-wracking to be honest. Giving birth to you during this pandemic was really challenging, my precious, but thank God we made it,” she revealed.
“We pray for nothing but for God to complete and achieve His purpose through you. Happy first birthday, our @forestprats,” the doting mother said.
Prats and Oli welcomed their youngest child on July 17 last year. Baby Forest has two siblings, namely her big sister Feather and big brother Freedom. JB
