when mom speaks

Some snaps of our not so typical Sunday bonding

Arrived at Tagaytay late afternoon, just in time for snack/pre dinner, we headed straight to Pancake House, because it has been days that I’ve been craving for pancakes and mocha shake!

And so we ordered, Roast Beef plate for  Amiel and 2 pieces blueberry pancakes for me -bottomless iced tea for him and choco milk shake for me (mocha shake is not available,demet)

While waiting for our foods to be serve, the waiter gladly handed Olin a piece of activity sheet and some crayons too… he sensed that Olin can throw a tantrum at any time and those things kept her occupied for good ‘ol 45 minutes or so!

While I, on the other hand, took snaps of almost everything! total cam whore! boo.

Now here’s our food… sorry for the uber blurry shot.. Amiel is about to get mad with all the snap shots I’m taking, I wasn’t able to adjust clearly my camera with his food.

And here is my bitin pancakes! It is now bitin for me, I used to be fully busog with 2 pieces before, but now it’s not enough! argh. Did they resize it or what!?

Anyways, will post the second part where we stayed and visit the newly rised Robinson’s place, where we let Olin run as long as she wants!

Thursday, January 22, we received a parcel from LBC containing birthday presents for Olin from mare’ng Litzie! You made my daugther’s day — seeing new Dora stuff can truly make her the happiest on earth!

Of course I had to snap some shots too

Very cute Dora wallet and magical tumbler

She likes it so! ayaw nyang hahawakan mo she’ll say “Olin wallet yan!”

The lucky celebrant who keeps on receiving gifts even her birthday is a few more days away!

Dear daughter and mom’s birthday is just a few days away, since my dad will be going back to work a day before Olin’s natal day, we decided to have a family dinner with our relatives. Though the original plan was to eat at a buffet restaurant, the last minute we had to cancel because one of the kids are not feeling well, so we just opted for a take out at the nearby restaurant, we may not enjoy a nice restaurant ambiance, but the company and the foods were the best! - and it deserves a separate post

But for now, as my  blog post title say - gifts part 1.. then here are the gifts my darling daughter from her cousins, something they bought from their own money and wrapped with love and effort! I sooo love them - for loving my daughter just like their sister!

We were surprise to see this very huge wrapped gift -made of manila paper and doodled with flowers by the cousins

A photo before they hand Olin their gift — they actually saved for it!

Olin super excited with her huge present!

Yes! super cute chair she immediately sits on it, see photos below
