Apart from sending our best wishes to the newly weds, it is also a get-together session where we exchange on what's happening lately and having fun drinking and cracking jokes.

We've never been to a birthday party at Mcdonald before and it was our very first as well. Initially, the plan was to put Denver there and take Gladys out for dinner. Unfortunately, Gladys is very persistent on attending the party with her brother and extremely reluctant to leave.

Every weekday, she will scribble and draw on papers, fold and wrap around with rubber bands and giving it to me as my daily present after work. It could be a simple "Gladys love Mommy", "Mommy love Gladys" to a picture of both of us together. :)Today, she did her very own handicraft without Mommy's instruction!
