Grandparents Day 2011

Jian and Keila's treat for their beloved lolos and lolas!

My kids are very very lucky. They have two pairs of loving and kind grandparents on both sides. Many would say that having an in-law could be bad, but me and hubby are one of those lucky ones. =)

Hubby and I decided to treat the kids' grandparents for Grandparents day as a thank you for the love they always show to us and to their grandchildren. They never fail to ask the kids conditions, and even help us take care of their apos when they've got spare time. Here are some great shots of the 2-part celebration on one day. =)

Dinner treat for my parents right after Sunday Mass

Personally, I miss having a lolo or a lola. I never experienced having one on my side. I can count the times I had with them. When they died, I never miss dreaming about them and hugging them in my dream. I wasn't scared. Maybe because that's how thirsty I was for a lolo and lola's love. Well, anyway, I wouldn't want my kids to experience the same thing so while we got still a lot of time, maybe considering this celebration every year is very very appropriate. *wink Read More on this Mumbling...

Papa & Mama's 2011 Birthday

Posted by PinkNote at 11:45 AM 1 comments

Yes I've been very busy for everyday chores and exclusive celebrations for the family these days so I wasn't very active on upadating my OL diary. Facebook has been evil to me too. I told hubby to fix it for me but he is so busy until this very day that I guess deleting my account would be much better and I would maybe just sign up for a new account. Sigh... I'm more concern on the pictures that have been uploaded. =( Anyway, I am more focused on being a stay-at-home mom for now, prioritizing the family first. Here are some thank you/birthday parties we gave to my parents since we were just living adjacent to their house.hehe And mama & papa never celebrate their birthdays so I guess I'll just be the one giving them simple celebrations by being the eldest child. Never would it be long that my brothers could help me in the celebrations for mama and papa when they'll have a stable job of their own too. =)

Mama's Birthday 2011

My parents eversince are very thrifty. So very very thrifty that when I was in elementary, I only got 10pesos for my baon. In highschool I got 20pesos, and in college I only got 60pesos. hehehe I cannot even remember when they did celebrate an occasion for themselves. So I promised myself, if the budget for my own family is not that tight, I would give them a small or extravagant birthday celebration. Us, their kids on the other hand had celebrated every birthdays we had when we were kids. Now, it is officially pay back time. =)

Thank you Lord for the blessings, enough to be shared with our loving parents and family. We love you!
