In the end, I opted to celebrate mum's birthday with the relatives. There are some relatives which we have been close to when we were kids but have drifted apart over the years. I thought it will be great to gather each other to catch up with one another.
I was also thinking how to liven up the place ... sweet helium strawberry shortcake balloons should be lovely. You should see my mum's face lighted up when she saw the lovely balloons!
The dining room was "flooded" with the balloons. While waiting for the rest to arrive, we took the opportunity to take some photos.
Jojo was too distracted by the balloons!
Time to sing Happy Birthday songs to our Birthday girls ! And posed ! They were gamed !
The kids looked tired though .... waiting patiently to eat the cakes!
It was a tiring day, nonetheless, it was a rare opportunity to gather most together.
