The Magical Seventh

If everything were up to me, whenever December the 13th, my birthday, comes around the corner, I'd rather celebrate it tucked in my room, buried in fries and burgers, watching another war movie with the husband.

But alas! That same date also happens to be the birthday of my scrumptious Celestine and what are children's birthdays for, if not for celebrating. 

So the recluse Mummy had no choice but to get up and about to make her unica hija's wish come true.

Where are we off to? The beach is it?

Yep, the beach. She has told us like a year ago that she would want to celebrate her 7th swimming so here we are.

First of all, the Frozen-themed cake is kinda off since we're surrounded by sand and sea. We should've gunned for The Little Mermaid but she's not hearing it. See? 

But it doesn't matter to her, really. Food doesn't matter because nothing it more important than swimming with the friends. It is your moment, after all, baby girl. So live it!

The two Tin-Tins. They are frenemies. Who would know? 

For brief moments she would get out of the water; the only chance we had to take this family photo. However, what's more important is that she had fun. It's evident in her skin color afterwards. 😉 We had an advanced celebration on the 9th of December. We're lucky that the sun came out that day. Our birthday histories are very much riddled with typhoon and flood stories. Ha ha ha. And there's a lot more to be thankful for than just the weather. So many little things that make up the big things.

Here's to more birthdays and blessings!

And oh, I'll just leave you with the aftermath. :)

XO,

Carissa
