Our family had two christmas party, one hosted by me here in San Pedro and the other one was hosted by their father in Molino, Cavite. Its acceptable to all my children our blended family and seem to enjoy it because of two christmas celebrations. Anyway, this yuletide season is a time for family gathering, giving love, gifts and happiness to each other.
Dirk turned 67 last monday, December 19 and his only request is to have lunch at Fridays. I gave in to his request but he got more, because my daughter Astrid send a birthday cake and his favorite ribsteak. I thank God for adding another year on his life and my wish for him is to maintain his good health.
We're back to our normal lives after the pandemic, and one of the things i missed is being with friends. It was a nice tuesday bonding also with my sisters with karaoke music and delicious foods....
Four of my children are celebrating their birthdays in the month of December. Jr, the youngest among the brood is celebrating his birthday on December 1, Rose Belle December 7 and Andrew and Aizza share the same birthdate December 12. Though my eldest daughter had her celebration in Canada, the three siblings just have a simple celebration at Andrew's home with their father and stepmother. My wishes to all of them are always the same, good health, more happiness, be a blessings to others, remain grounded, respectful to others and always pray.
My only sister in law turned 67 last December 8 and she had no idea that her family prepared a surprise birthday celebration for her. She first invited us for lunch at their home but all of us declined because of a busy schedule. She is soo sad that day that she decided that she will just go to the mall. My nephew bring her to McDonalds and got the surprise of her life because all her friends, former co teachers, relatives, grandkids and kids are there. She was teary eyed upon seeing all of us and deep inside her she is very happy. The pictures below will just speak for itself.....
We're finally seeing the beauty of Casa Belle with its railings. Fence and gates are not yet done and hopefully they will install it next week.
By the way, Aleth my other 'daughter' from another mother visited us here at home. She is on vacation together with her niece who is also working abroad.
My heart is filled with overwhelming joy and happiness because finally the Canada visa application of my daughter Astrid and Buddy has been approved. It took her several attempts but it happened in God's perfect time, God is great indeed.
