Birthday Surprise

It was my Hubby's 32nd birthday yesterday! It was such a blessed and special day for us.

In the morning, Tricia and I surprised him with his birthday cake and gift. Good thing that Tricia woke up early and was not moody but cooperated well on my plan. So, I told her of our plan to go to the room and sing songs for her Appa. With a smile on her face, she sleepily nodded so, I lighted the birthday candles and we went slowly inside the room. And when we were going in, tada! we were the one who got surprised as my Hubby was already awake and going out of the room ( I thought he was still asleep).

So, with me bringing the cake and Tricia clutching the gift, we immediately sang, Here I am to worship ( it's the only worship song that she knows how to sing from beginning to the end). Tricia looked so cute singing and looking at her teary eyed Appa. Then, we sang Happy birthday and Appa blew the candles on the cake. I bought the magic candles (the type of candles that lights up again and again even after several puffs) and our li'l girl was laughing and giggling everytime the candle lights up again. Then after all the thank you's, hugs and kisses, Tricia prayed for Appa.

My Hubby was indeed surprised and he also didn't expect to receive a gift from me as I already apologized to him earlier for not giving him a gift ( drama lang gud :) ). But it really is a challenge to buy a gift secretly for someone who's always with you. Need to plan everything well and even do some acting sometimes..hehehe!

Anyways, and then for his birthday treat, I already arranged beforehand our "date". The last time we went out just the two of us was last October when family was around but that was only for a short time since it was too late at night. Back to the birthday date, thank God for friends who are so ever willing to take care of the kids just for us to spend time alone together. Thank God that Tricia agreed (after so much of convincing and bribing) to go out with her Ninong Junjun to go to Diana, Tesco and Carrefour ( yes, mallhopping to buy us a lot of time for our date) while Baby Lyle is with his Ninang Litlit. Praise God for Ninangs and Ninongs. Thanks Jun! Thanks Ate Lit!

My Hubby and I indeed had a great time together. We went to Lee Gardens and had dinner at Sizzler's. We felt like boyfriend and girlfriend again. Imagine, going out without kids tagging along. We enjoyed talking and eating leisurely without having to reprimand someone, " Tricia, sit down please.", "Chew and swallow your food" or think about the baby, "do you think he needs milk?", " I think he needs to change diapers" and etc. It was actually quite awkward and new...hahaha!! We also enjoyed the "unlimited" HHWW (Holding Hands While Walking) and HHWWPSP( Holding Hands While Walking and Pa Sway-sway Pa) because with kids our hands will be usually full and less chance to HHWW. It was indeed a good time for us and we just extremely enjoyed it and looking forward for the next 'date'.

So, that was my Hubby's birthday suprise and I'm glad that he was so happy and kept thanking me for making his birthday special.

* Sorry, no photos. I really forgot to bring the camera. Sayang! Maybe I was just too excited like a school girl on her first date. heheh!
