This year we had a very simple celebration.
We had luncheon with immediate family (my brother and sister's families and alvin's uncles' families) at Bungaribee Buffet at Workers Balcktown yesterday.
We went to church to end our Saturday.
Alvin and I waited for 12 midnight and I formally greeted him for his birthday :D
We had to wake up really early today because we had our breakfast at Ikea. Alvin wanted to try it for the longest time. It was our first time to try out their breakfast :D We shopped for some toys and cabinet organizers for the kids.
We then headed off to DFO and we bought the kids shoes.Liam had his first Chucks and Sam had her first Keds. I also bought my sister her request of a RL classic polo shirt and a white RL cardigan for Sam.
Surprised that I didn't succumb to the force of buying something again for myself, considering that Oroton was offering 60% discount on the bags and almost all stores were on sale! (proud moment)
After having lunch at home, we headed off to the CFC Sydney Cluster Assembly.
We headed straight back to our home after the assembly and ate dinner at home. Before we ate dinner we sang "Happy Birthday" to Alvin.
I didn't get to buy him something for his birthday. He still didn't want me to buy him the DLSR camera that he wants. He said he wants it for Christmas. Anyway, I just gave him the money and let him decide what he wants to do with it or where he wants to spend it on. I was okay with this as long as hubby agreed that he will spend it (and not send it, gets?) for himself.
See, this year we didn't have any parties, surprises or the like and the birthday boy was still very happy. It follows that when he is happy, I am happy too! :)
Happy birthday again Papa A! We love you very much!
