Mommy Lola's 88th Birthday
June 04, 2016
My grandmother from my father's side just celebrated her 88th birthday last Tuesday, 31 May 2016. It wasn't a grand celebration but we sure did our very best to make our mommy lola happy on her very special day.
Before I continue, I just want to say that this particular post will be photo heavy because I'll be sharing just a few photos from the total of 62 photos that I uploaded on my personal Facebook page.
The kids and I went to our lola's house as early as we can so that the kids will have an ample time to play with their cousins and of course for me to extend my help on whatever preparation that there might be. After eating our lunch, my sisters (Jonnah and Chesca) and I planned on having the kids siesta together with our lola for us to start on the decorations.
The whole place was filled with party favors such as balloons and banderitas from A & L Party Avenue which made it look more lively and merry. We finished decorating just in time before my lola's prayer meeting started. Yes, everyone from their Tuesday prayer meeting group was amazed on how the place looks.
The sharing as well as the charismatic songs really filled my soul and made me realized a lot of things.
Anyway, after the prayer meeting comes the starts of the party which by the way filled my tummy, hahahaha!
The most important part of our grandma's birthday was that everyone was able to gather together which made our lola the happiest. Imagine a mini family reunion where everyone's just being their weird and crazy self plus all the catching ups of course.
As long as our mommy lola is happy then we are also happy.
Just in case you want to watch the vlog, I'll leave it in here.
