Rachel 7th Birthday

Rachel turns 7.... As she promised, there would be no more birthday party starting from age 7. And Rachel thought no party means no cake. Rachel just counted down and wait for the day, she forgo to ask Mommy to buy the birthday cake. She just asked Mommy to make a birthday card as she did one for Mommy's and Daddy's birthdays.

Mommy ordered a big Hello Kitty cake for Rachel, but Rachel didn't know until the day. It was a surprise.... !!!! It was really surprise for Rachel. When she came home from school, she found the big cake sitting on the dinner table. "It was very big Mom... I like it... did you buy for me Mom ?? Thank you mom...." ( I called Rachel from office).

We blew the candles and took pictures together. Rachel looked very beautiful, she was wearing her Hello Kitty hair clips for the occassion - just to be on the same theme :) . The birthday girl enjoyed her day...this time Rachel has Titi Stanley celebrated her birthday together.

Time to cut the cake...but Rachel did not allow that!.. "Sayang, Mommy..!!" ... so we kept the cake another day.

We also plan the special birthday bash 2 weeks later, waiting for Ai Ding Ding, Uncle G, Nai-nai and Yeye to come to Karawaci.

Happy Birthday Rachel,... You are my sunshine, you are the superstar, you are the best jie jie in the world !!!

Mommy's Birthday

It was Mommy's birthday on 26 may. But as Rachel was having a final exam on that day, we celebrated the birthday on 27 May. Rachel bought a rainbow cheese cake herself after school. "The cake is very cool mom, the color is pink.. please come home earlier !"

We did the ritual... blew the candles, took pictures, cut and eat the cake. Rachel asked Titi not to sleep before Mommy and Daddy were home. So...Look..Titi was already in the pajamas... hihihihihi

Thank you rachel for the birthday cake.... I love you so much....
And of course Mommy was very happy to have a birthday celebration with the lovely kids like you and Titi. Big hugs and kisses from Mommy to both of you.

Jie Jie love Titi

Lost Teeth

Family Flower

Inspired by Playhouse Disney, Rachel decided to make a family flower. It was a big project..so Rachel needed Mommy's help. The petals of flower are the paper cut-out of Daddy, Mommy, Rachel and Stanley's hand prints. Rachel always told to me that family should love each other, and she wrote 'WE LOVE EACH OTHER' on the leaves. Stanley loves looking at that flower because it was very colorful.

Kura-kura & Kelinci

Setiap ada Nai-nai, Rachel pasti manja-manjaan apalagi pas lagi mau tidur. Setiap kali Rachel selalu minta diceritain alias dongeng sebelum tidur... tapi kok tiap kali mintanya cerita tentang kura-kura dan kelinci ya? Hehehe... Kejadiannya selalu begini,
"Nai, ceritain dong"
"Cerita apa?"
"Kura-kura dan kelinci."
"Hah? Lagi? Yang lain aja"
"Kura-kura dan kelinci aja"
"Ya udah.... Pada jaman dulu, ada seekor kura-kura dan seekor kelinci ........"

Rachel & Stanley

Just woke up in the morning

Happy Birthday, Daddy !

Daddy turns 39 !!! Rachel surprised Daddy with a cutie Baby Pooh cake. Rachel chose and bought it by herself. Two days before the day, Rachel kept saying to daddy : "NO SURPRISE for you Daddy. I dont have anything for you, no cake and present for you !!!!"

We just had dinner at home, and blew the candles after that. As usual Rachel was busy with the cake and candles. She always likes this moment.

Happy Birthday Daddy....From : Mommy, Rachel and Titi.......
