Happy Birthday, Mommy !

Yesterday was Mommy's birthday ! The first surprise of the day were a hug and a kiss from Rachel first thing in the morning. When Mommy asked Rachel about the present, Rachel just said with a big smile.... " The CAKE, Mommy !!!" Hihihi... Oh Rachel..we ordered the cake together 2 days ago so Mommy already knew!.. But Mommy loves the cake very much. Thank you, Rachel...

We celebrated the birthday at home after Mommy and Daddy came home. Rachel was very excited blowing the candles, and cutting the cake. She sang "Happy birthday" loudly for Mommy and it turned out that Rachel had another present for Mommy... a little lovely note : 'Rachel loves Mommy' and ' Happy Birthday Mommy' :) Mommy was really touched by this simple but honest gift. I will keep it, darling. Thank you and I love you too.

Mommy and Ai Nono decided that we are not going to malls every Saturdays. Therefore, we planned to have activity in the house, and remembered that Rachel wants to learn to bake cakes. On one friday morning, Mommy called ai nono to ask about Brownies Kukus ( the steamed brownies ) and plan to make one tomorrow.

Ai nono came with the mixer, mould and recipe on saturday morning, and Mommy has bought the material from the market. Rachel was so excited. She carefully measured the flour, butter, sugar, coccoa powder and then mixed them patiently. And then, she also tried to break 5 eggs successfully into the mixer bowl. Later, she shifted the flour, and gradually spoon them into the mixer, too. When the dough was ready, Rachel also scooped it to the mould by herself. Can you imagine the chaos in the kitchen by then ? wink wink .... but we made it. We had very nice brownies kukus, and later, daddy bought vanilla ice cream for the topping....
Sounds delicious... hmmmm..... Mommy even brought the brownies two days in a row for her breakfast in the bus to the office.
