Birthdays!

In the month of September we celebrate 2 birthdays in our family. David's on the 1st and and Janice's on the 20th. They are almost exactly 2 years apart. This year, David invited 4 friends to celebrate with us. We all went out for dinner at Marche in Vivo City followed by viewing of the movie Wall.E. After the movie, we came home for his ice-cream cake from Island Creamery. Then the boys played X-box until about 10pm when their parents picked them up. His classmate Justin was able to stay over until the next morning.

Today, 20th September, we celebrated Janice's birthday and invited 5 of her friends. We had a cooking party and the girls baked and decorated cupcakes and made individual servings of baked rice for their dinner. It was quite a fun party but a bit of a mayhem with excitable, screaming girls running around. Thankfully everything went well - no burnt food or fingers!

I am thankful for our friends Angeline & Nam from church, and Ling Ling who were such a help. Ling Ling brought her daughter Joshann who's the same age as Janice and she fitted in really well with the other girls.
