My Birthday Fun!

Hey! How was your weekend? What did you guys do? I hope it was a wonderful one! On Sunday Oct. 12, my dad took the family out to eat during lunch times to honor my mother and mine Birthday. It was great but SO expensive! I wish I have pictures to share but unfortunately I forgot my camera at home. Because it's a brand new restaurant in town, I'm not yet familiar with the name. So there goes my dead brain for not jointing it down on papers. I'm so embarrassed. But they don't have too many variety of foods to choose from the buffet, even though there are some good foods! At lease we had great time :)

Almost Five days after my birthday, we celebrated my mom birthday that day. My darling niece Trish, brought a birthday cake to honor both of us (me and mom), and this time it's one of the traditional cake. It was made in golden vanilla flavor with some berries inside. Frosted in white on the outside with berries (strawberry, blueberry and cranberry) on top. Double yum! It always great to celebrate and share birthday with my mom together. It more easier to have just one party celebration. Unfortunately, it didn't look that way this year, did it? LOL! We did take pictures, but I don't think mom would want her face shown on Internet without her permission. But I will show you the cakes and all the yummy foods.

However, I did take these pictures! Below is some pictures of books and foods that I took on the day of my birthday. The one I did a travelogue on recently on my blog, Click Here (click it). The one I promise to show my friend, Alice *grin*. Remember, these photos aren't that great. Not as great as my dear friend Darla, Melody and Alice does it *grin*, but they're all foods LOL! There are also pics taken on mom birthday too. You can click each images to view it larger :)

Look at the stack of books! (Julia, I'm on a book ban, please don't tempt me. LOL)

Now, now. Your photos are great ok. You must show more in the future, OK? :D

And hey - if you could tempted me to get to the dark side: foods, then why can't I tempted you with books? Good, now I got my revenge LOL! You know that you won't be able to go book ban for long, but I will help you to keep your promise *grin* -- if I could teehehe.
