Ice is Turning One

another miracle has come our way.

ice is turning one this april 9, 2009. it falls on a maundy thursday. so we are planning on a more discreet celebration with respect to the lenten season. but still it is such a great blessing that ice has finally reached 1 year old. anyways, in the Bible, the Last Supper was on a thursday and it was supposed to be the time for the "Passover" where the jews would have a feast in their tables in celebration to the time when the Lord saved the Israelites from the slavery of Egypt. the first year of a child definitely is not easy --considering the adjustment, teething, walking developments of a child. it definitely is a big reason to celebrate.

for the dinner menu. we are planning to serve mostly seafoods, like shrimp, crabs and squid. there is gonna be seafood pancit, soup, breaded chicken, fish sweet n sour, and chao pat chin. i have my officemate as chef assigned for that time (thanks, ate bebie!). most of my other officemates say that she really cooks well. well, we'll see. lols. but i actually already had the pleasure of indulging into her dishes in the office, and they made everyone happy. so it's gonna be a great dinner i am pretty sure. but my husband plans on serving the legendary "Lechon" (Roast Pig) for that day. i mean why not, right? as a form of sacrifice. for dessert, i plan on making ube jam, leche flan, buko pandan, fruit salad and birthday cake (of course).

i may also set a simple kid's party in the afternoon. to entertain ice. she likes to see lots of other kids around her. causing her to be restless at times. wanting to follow the other kids around (and the watcher hold and follow her, lols). but it's ok, it's her birhtday!

this is definitely a great time to give thanks so the Lord for the wonderful blessing of life and health to ice and the whole family. and a perfect time to share this happiness to loved ones.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ICE!!!

Daddy, Mommy and Ate Rain loves u soooo much!

we all love you!
