Mama's Birthday

Dearest Skyler,

Today's special for two reasons, Lil' One.

It's Good Friday, the day we remember that our Lord Jesus Christ gave his life for us. Jesus took our place in punishment for our sins resulting in us being innocent in God’s eyes thereby saving us from eternal punishment!

Today also happens to be Mama's birthday!

After we got up, you helped Papa make a birthday card for Mama. You drew the colours from the 'Rainbow Song' on her card! :D You also gave the card to Mama.

We then drove to the Ikea at Alexandra to look for the clogs that we wanted. They had all the colours and Papa's size. But they didn't have Mama's. Oh well...

We had lunch at the cafeteria there. It was very crowded. You only wanted to eat the spaghetti. :p

You were also very 'territorial'. You hung on to Papa's chair and refused to let anyone take it away while Papa was gone buying food. Thank you, Lil' One. :D

After lunch we drove over to Godma Audrey's. You had been so looking forward to it! :D Godma had agreed to watch you for the afternoon so that Papa and Mama could spend a bit of alone time together.

You had a great time with Godma. You fed the fish, did some colouring, painting, made another birthday card for Mama, played with the bean bag, read a book, ... You did lots of things! :D The only thing you didn't do was take a nap! Oh well... When we got back, you were all tired out! :p

We then went over to Popo's to celebrate Mama's birthday with Bubu, Moh-moh and her. You ate so much food there. Papa had to replenish your rice a couple of times as you were still going strong.

While we were there, Bubu introduced you to 'Totoro', a Japanese anime. But this version had been dubbed in Cantonese. That didn't stop you from enjoying it! You were totally riveted to it! :p

We also had a big durian cake as Mama's birthday cake. You enjoyed it tremendously! :D

It was very late by the time we got home. But that didn't stop you from wanting to go through your whole bedtime routine. :D

Papa and Mama love you!
