It is always extra special for us to celebrate the new year. We celebrate it in our house just like same as back home in Manila, stayed home together as a family, put lots of food on the table for prosperity and a basket of round fruits for wealth.
Few days before, Vivian and I went out to buy daddy's presents, my husband was with us but the little girl told him not to enter the store so it's still a surprise. Daughter picked very daring styles and colors of polos, shirts and pants but we ended up getting four presents that hubby could pull off. On the 31st, I was able to cook few dishes for dinner and for media noche. We ate dinner at 8pm as it was 12 midnight back home. We had salad, karekare and crispy pata, then our favorite desserts- blueberry cheesecake, leche flan and fruit salad. As we waited for midnight, Vivian excitedly prepared and fixed the living room for hubby's birthday. She put our gifts next to the balloons and kept asking, "Is it time, already? Is it time"? After what seemed several hours, it was time at last... just in time the 'suman' was done, we were ready to welcome the new decade and hubby's birthday. Vivian and I brought out the cake then started singing happy birthday, not once but twice to capture the moment. After we had our fiesta ham with potato salad, 'suman' with thick cocoa and mango, Hubby opened his gifts and daughter put a surprise card and message in one of the gifts. It was another memorable celebration and the little girl ended it by popping all the balloons.
Happy birthday to my hubby, I hope you liked our celebration for three, hopefully next year it will be for a fantastic four. We love you!
