"Lessons are learnt everyday, the good ones come the hardest way" - JRR
The events of the day started with the above mentioned and followed by with a water splashing time with my wife, son, sis in law, Amy and her boyfriend John whilst Dad in Law sat by the side with his mom.
The night took off with a simple dinner and "open table" time and it was so much of fun having lots of people (relatives and friends) around. The kids, Christian, Mabel, Alex, Sidney and Scottie were the reasons of the lively atmosphere and of course, the high decibels while the others whom were there, Lee, An, Gladys, Harrison, Florence and the two visitors from Indonesia were in the same mood but on a adult basis. My camera was clicking away with An and Lee having much fun with it.
My Terri made a two-tier cake which was the birthday cake blown on that night, highlighting Alex's turning of age but it was also a joint celebrations of Terri and her twin Florence whom were turning a year older in the next few days but it looked for like 5 little kids having a bash on their own. The night went on with a Baskin & Robins ice cream fiesta and some table top games.
It was indeed a great night for all of us and especially for Terri and me.
