October 8 this year is papas 77th
birthday. We started the day with a surprise birthday breakfast.
Planning to surprise him is hard to pull off because papa is always
curious, he always asks whats going on. So I had to wait til he falls
asleep to do my stuff. What I had in mind was to serve simple
breakfast, so I went for bread and egg muffins, coffee, fruits. I had
to bake brownies to put the birthday greetings and candles to blow. I made 
to the buffet table. I put the gifts as well in the table. Luckily I was able to pull it off before papa woke up. Yes, he was happy to see what I prepared for him. 
In the evening, we went to Auntie Thelmas place in Yorbalinda for another surprise birthday dinner hosted by papas sisters. The Baldado family was there to celebrate the special day with him. It was a potluck party. Auntie Mayet assigned each family on what to bring. Except for some few members who were working on that day, majority of the clan were there.
The celebrant was the last to arrived. When he got inside we started singing the birthday song. Then dinner was serve. Usually our parties is our chance of catching up. Kids enjoy playing with their cousins. Girls chitchats. Boys having beers. But nevertheless, we are having fun doing this. Just like papas birthday party. Everyone was having fun. Just being together is already fun for us. Later in the night, we offered toast for the celebrant. Then the family photos.
This is another moment to treasure. First of all, papa is 77. We his family is just grateful for all the blessings the Lord showered on our dearest papa in his 77 years. It had been another good year for him. We are grateful for all the love from our family, it was evident in the party. It was heartwarming to see everyone that night with all their love for our papa.
