Photo opportunities
The travel buddies patiently waiting for the
other birthday celebrator to arrive.

We got a bit excited and decided to sing
the birthday song for Atty. Swanee.
Look at the facial expressions of the girls
when they saw what Bubut and I placed
on top of the custard cake in lieu of candles.
Jannette & Dags found a candle, hahaha
a tealight candle.

Again, in lieu of birthday candles, the girls
placed a pastillas on the chocolate cake.
Angela, the other pretty birthday celebrator
with her new hairdo.

Happiest, funniest, sili-est birthday ever.
This is the 6th year that we've celebrated
their birthdays at my home.
It is always a pleasure to spend time
with my loving, wacky and thoughtful
travel buddies!
Wishing you more birthdays to come
and I be there still to count them!
