I hope you guys have a wonderful ♥ Thanksgiving celebration ♥ ! Take care!

I know this may be late but I just want to dedicate this blog time to all Father’s who unselfishly dedicated most of their lives to their kids. Unfortunately, I don’t have the opportunity to greet my dad since he past away when I was still 13 years old. So for those of us whose lucky enough to embrace our dads, let’s take this opportunity to make this day extra special for them. And to my dad, wherever you are, thanks for having me and for being a great dad. You’ll always be in my heart. Love you!

Me and my Baby Vaughn

We just got back from our province in Oriental Negros, which is typically 4 1/2 hours travel by bus from Cebu. That was 4 days ago, and now, we’re back since me and my husband have shifts tomorrow night. I’m kinda sad because our vacation had to end but there’s really nothing much I can do about it since we need to maintain our jobs to support our little boy.

Well, going back to the very reason for this entry, It’s my son’s birthday today. But, we already held a party at my in-laws place since it was the only time we can celebrate my son’s birthday with our families. The party was nothing fancy nor extravagant but rather simple and special since we only invited people who were actually close to our families. Also, we didn’t have a lot of time to prepare for the celebration since we were unsure of WHERE we would celebrate it in the first place, considering the fact that it’s hard to get vacation leaves approved when you’re working in a call center. But eventually, we got our VLs approved, thank goodness!

Time flies fast. It was just yesterday when I recall how my son looked like when he was still less than a month old and how much I feared of hurting his tiny body every time I carry him. Though, the experience was a lot difficult than I’ve anticipated but motherhood was so far the best thing that ever happened to my life.

So I’ll share a few pictures that were shot during my son’s party just to share my joy and happiness during the celebration!

Guess wheres the birthday boy? Well, he fell asleep! My hubby took the liberty of blowing the candles for him.
