A Wonderful Birthday!
Amidst all the chaos in life, my lovely husband and son could somehow instill such happiness for me...at least on my birthday :o), and along with the help of my wonderful in-laws.
Daddy surprised Mummy with a lovely breakfast with brewed coffee! Yay! Simple but yet unexpected, especially since Mummy is just extremely stressed over her upcoming final exam in Financial Management. Juggling a toddler, full-time work, hubby, and school along with non-profit volunteer work is nearly freaking impossible...but that's a whole different blog entry and for another blog! Anyways, the morning was just lovely and then Daddy brings another surprised with a custom made calendar filled with photos of our little family! Gosh, it was very nice! As if that wasn't enough, my talented graphic designer of a hubby made magazine cover shoots for me as well, which was posted in the previous blog entry! Such a crazy wacky guy!!
After that, it was a dash off to school with Erik and work for Mummy. However, Mummy finds a nice little surprise package in the car. This time, its from Grandma Katy and Grandpa Tom! A sweet box of chocolates with a special red envelope attached! Red envelopes are also known as "Lucky Money" or in Cantonese its called "Lai See". Very thoughtful of my in-laws!!
The day was progressing just fine. No big deal. Work is work. Mummy went out with one of her girlfriends to the local Italian eatery for lunch. That's it. Nothing out of the ordinary. Coming home was the grand finale to the their conjured surprise.
Grandma Katy and Grandpa Tom whipped out a whole bunch of different Indian-type snack food including homemade Samosas, Singharas, potato cakes, naans, Mmmmmm! They even baked a sponge cake for Mummy! Very sweet!!! As if all that hard homemade work wasn't enough, after dinner, Daddy whipped out a very beautiful yet quirky birthday cake...as our dear Erik gleefully shouted "Bifdee keek"..."Bifdee keek", as in Birthday Cake!! The birthday song was sung, photos were taken...and my little Erik asked for more and more cake! LOL! Daddy even showed Erik how to lick the dessert plate clean. Sheesh!
It was a grand birthday celebration!! Thanks a lot Daddy, Erik, Grandma Katy, and Grandpa Tom for such a festive birthday! It was all very very kind and thoughtful!
