Celebrate Birthdays even if you only have little
Each birthday is worth celebrating, it is an indication that one has completed year and welcomes another in her life. Birthdays are not just simple celebrations but a Thanksgiving to life and all the good things in it.
My niece turned sixteen last October 24 but her brother and mom decided to celebrate it on the 25th.
Every year, her mother, @pjprincess makes a lot of effort to make the day extra special even if it means she has to spend a lot of money. She has cerebral palsy and scoliosis but she is a fighter and she became her mother's source of strength in life.
That day everyone is happy to help her celebrate her very special day. I went home early from work; it was a very fine and lovely day, and it seems like the weather is happy and is on our side to celebrate. The sky seems so blue and radiating, white fluffy clouds are at bay too
It was past two in the afternoon when I went home and I got so lucky that a bus stopped for me in my working place and i did not have to wait for very long. I arrived home seeing m sister getting very busy in her dishes, she still had lots to do; Her 100 year-old beef (lol) was not yet tender, her cake icing was not yer done, her lumpiang shanghai still had to be prepared, barbecue had just been marinated, and the lechon belly at the back was being turned by my man, @tonton23. He was doing it while watching anime on his phone. No wonder he did not check on where I was already. Feel me girls?
Her are some of the photos I took at the table, After some preparations on the lumpia, I ran to the wholesale store to buy 6 liters of coke. This way, we could have lots of savings compared to buying on a retail store.

On the other side of the house, the kids were so happy seeing there were lots of balloons for the occasion. Aya and Yan went to celebrate too and the kids had so much fun, even Princess had a good time watching her cousins too.
Evening came as time passed by so fast, We still had lots of things to do, and the decorations were not yet installed. Only then we realized that we should have installed it the day before so we have lesser things to worry. Good thing my sister's visitor is my uncle's family of four.
The table is ready by 7 in the evening and the kids were really hungry too yet in times like this, photographs are mandatory; Princess' brother lighted the candle on the cake and we had lots of fun watching the kids gather round.
Pretty cakes
Soon after, we gave thanks to the food and started eating. everything tastes so good and we were all filled. The kids ate most sweets and coke and they had the most wonderful time of their lives and I really enjoyed watching them. I hope when they are older, they will remember how good life is and will still be together.
It was a night full of fun and delicious food and we all thanked God for Princess' life and the wonderful tings she brought to our lives.
