Doggie boy's birthday cake

Doggie boy turned 6 this week and this year he requested for an Angry Bird Space cake for his birthday. He had been having an overload of Angry bird since we visited the Angry Bird Space Playground at the airport last month. He was really happy to see his birthday cake and had a cake cutting session with his school mates.

Blowing out the candles

He tried blowing out his candles with gusto but was surprised when it started to relight by itself. He didn’t know that we bought relighting candles and it would take him and his siblings 7 attempts to get all the candles blown off. It was a good investment for $1.50.

It was the last time that he would be celebrating his birthday with his Kindergarten friends as he will be entering Elementary school come January 2013. I know that he will be missing the cozy environment and all the friends that had been together with him for the past few years.The birthday celebration marks and end to his preschool life and a closure to a chapter of his life.

I’m sure looking back at the photos and videos which I took on this birthday he will certainly have warm and fuzzy thoughts on his mind.

How do you celebrate your kid’s birthdays?

Weekend Reflections: A New Begining

December is a month full of reflections for me. A year has come to a close and it is time to move on. 2013 is around the corner and it is a time for a new beginning.

It is time to put aside the uncompleted and failed task for 2012 and wipe the slate clean. Starting anew is something that I will be doing. Celebrating the victories that I have had this year and looking forward to making new ones next year.

Celebrating Life and the gifts given to me by GOD. Cherishing the time I have with the family and making memories with them will be my main focus this month. Kids are only young once and I aim to give them the best childhood which they can have by providing them with opportunities to try different activities and experiences. These will help them build up their character and be strong and capable adults in the future.

It has been great that I had the time off this year to really think about what I would like for myself and the family and the directions that we should be taking. There will be changes in our schedules come 2013 but it will certainly be for the better. It will certainly be more challenging as the boys will be in different sessions and I will have even lesser time to focus on my work and the house. There will have to be some adjustments but I’m sure that I will be able to manage with the increased workload and lesser time on hand.

Are you too looking forward to a new beginning in 2013 ?
