Another Birthday to Remember

In just a matter of time my youngest is turning 10 years old. The past few days he keeps on telling me that his birthday is coming soon, then I would asked him what does he want for his birthday and he will answer me anything would do. Last year we had a very simple celebration at home. Only the immediate family were invited since mass gathering isn’t allowed yet. And since Anthony my husband was here, he was in charge in cooking. Yes, he is a wanna be chef.😅 This year I don’t have any particular plans yet. But since I am really quite busy this month, I would probably just order ready to eat food and give him a simple present on his special day.

Since his birthday is coming soon, for today’s article let me share to you what I did two years ago on his 8th birthday. Unlike his 7th birthday where we celebrated it with lots of guests and all, that time I planned a very simple one. I just wanted him to enjoy that day. So first thing I asked him what theme does he want for his birthday, and he answered lego ninja go. My kids both love ninja go characters. As far as I can remember we’ve watch the movie on theatre and as you know they love anything with lego. I looked for some simple idea on the net, so that I can somehow granted my little one request. I’ve seen a lot of different ideas but I choose the one which I know I can do better. I decided to make a lego ninja go mask from felt cloth. I made five of them for my kids and their playmates along the neighborhood. I also made a happy birthday banner from felt cloth too. Then I bought some baloons at the bookstore nearby for an additional decorations . I set them up and paste them in a wall a day before his birthday.

On the day of his birthday, my little one has an early class. I woke him up and greeted him, and then I took him and his brother to the school. When they were at the school, I took the chance to buy the things I needed for our little celebration. I dropped by at the supermarket and then on the bakery to buy a cake and then went home after. I fetched the kids after their classes and we were a little excited for our little celebration in the afternoon. Afternoon came, and his friends came over. I prepared the table with the foods I cooked, along with the ready to eat foods I bought earlier. We started by singing my Athan a happy birthday song. He blew the cake, and said some birthday wishes and it was time to eat. Oh before I forgot, we had a special visitor who’s on board that time. Joining on our party was his Daddy via online. The kids enjoyed their handmade ninja go masks while they were having a chit chats like they usually do when they were together. They went home after because their guardians were looking for them already. By 6 pm, my in laws came too. Of course they wouldn’t miss Athan’s birthday and because of that the little boy was so happy.

Closing Thoughts

We all have different ways of celebrating our loved ones birthdays. It doesn’t matter how big or simple it is, what matters most is that the efforts you’ve made to make it happen. Some even say no matter how small or big your gifts are, its always the thoughts that counts. It’s part of our culture to celebrate any occasion most specially birthdays because it only happens once a year. Every year we are all looking on how to make our birthday a little special than it was. Now this reminds me that I need to plan out for my Athan’s upcoming birthday. I still have more than a week to do that. I hope he will have again his best birthday ever this year.
