My Baby Girl is 9!!

Time flies...  MY BABY GIRL IS NOW 9!!

It only seemed like yesterday when she was born...  It was only last year when there was nothing on her wish list but Littlest Pet Shop things...  This year, she asked for a laptop and a mobile phone!!  We had to sadly decline her wishes so she asked for a Pandora bracelet and Borders bookstore vouchers instead...  

We celebrated her birthday with a simple get-together of close friends at home...

  

We had a talk just before her birthday and I told her that I dont have a baby girl anymore and she said, "Mum, I'll alway be your baby!".  It was music to my ears.  I told her never to keep secrets from and she promised.  I know it wont be long when she really grows up and would rather go out with her friends to celebrate.. but for now, Im just enjoying that times that she still longs for my company...  

Happy birthday, baby!  I love you!!!

Mother's Day

Mother's day came by in batches... as in, I got my gifts days before the actual day...

Darrell too got all excited and gave me his present a few days before, the Thursday, a Nokia E71. The kids got me gifts from the Mother's day stall at school... except when they got home on the Friday, they got all excited and gave me their gifts right away.  I got a nice necklace from Angelo which he says matches my Pandora bracelet and notebook from Chantelle with "love story" on the cover, her current favourite song...   Got a couple of Pandora charms too - a t-shirt from my best friend Mac, a pink flower from MIL and a "V" from Vincent...

Celebrated Mother's Day day with family by having lunch at Darrell's Aunt's place and capped the night with a family dinner at Ribs and Rumps!  Yumm!!

It was a nice day!  Thank God for family...  Im so blessed...
