A Christmas Surprise!

I never expected anything from my Hubby for Christmas maybe because I didn't really want anything for myself. Most of the time, I just wanted to buy stuff for him and for Zoe. Actually, it was okay already for me just being able buy a hard-bound copy of HP 7 (and not just an e-book) plus a bottle of Shu Uemura Cleansing Beauty Oil in Green Tea from Duty Free.

Unlike when we were younger, we always dressed up in new-everything (clothes, shoes, accessories) every Misa de Gallo. But now that I had become a mom, I just decided to wear something that's not-so-new (but nice) during our Christmas mass. It was Zoe who was doning the "new-everything" get-up. I think motherhood really changes your priorities in life.

Anyway, when we were preparing and dressing up in the room to go to Christmas Eve mass, my hubby unsuspectedly got my arm and put on it a gold bracelet. He said "tingnan ko nga kung kasya sa 'yo 'to". I was shocked! The bracelet was LOVELY! Really an AWWW moment for me.

Just when I thought that everything in my life was rather predictable, here comes my hubby with a surprise and an expensive gift to boot. Thanks, Hunny for the gift and for being so loving.

My other thoughts: Married life can really be a source of so much joy. (As a bonus to that, God may give us children to make us happy all the more.) That's why we have to try our best to treasure our spouse, love them to the max and keep the flame burning all the time. It's not just about giving them material gifts, right? It's about the daily struggle to love the same person more and more. Agree?

Zoe's 2nd Birthday Party!

Image
Caution: Loaded with pictures!!! Everything was set for Zoe's 2nd birthday party. We initially invited only a few close family and friends but then our guest list ballooned up to more than 60 people on the day before. No regrets because it turned out to be so much fun! First, the FOOD! We asked the help of my SIL to cook kare-kare and kalderata while our Ate Nilda prepared molo soup, spaghetti, hotdog on stick and fruit medley. My Ninang pitched in and made some leche flan while I made peach & mango ref cake and some canapes (with egg salad) which was a HIT (thanks Anne for the tip!). Our birthday cake was from Red Ribbon (best buy!) while the rest of the food (pancit bam-i, fresh lumpia, chicken lollipops, herb-crusted fish fillet) were ordered from ever dependable Conti's. Pictures here: We had some goody bags and party hats for the guests too. The party started at 12 noon with a short prayer and a cheerful happy birthday song for Zoe: Then it was chowtime right ...
