Ah Ma's Birthday!
Ah Ma with some of her grandchildren
After getting my beauty sleep, we met up with the rest of the family members to celebrate my MIL's 76th Birthday. My MIL is a very simply woman.... All she asked for on her birthday was to celebrate with her family and nothing fanciful.
We (LZfamily) gave her a BIG surprise this year! Not only to her but to some of our family members too! That is, she will have her 18th grandchild in February (she has 9 granddaughters & 8 grandsons for now). What a nice number! YES! We have been trying hard to keep this BIG secret from the rest and it has been a few months since we've met. For the first trimester, nobody noticed any difference in me. See? I am pretty good at keeping secret! Hahaha... I love the look on their faces, I mean their shocked faces! Hehehe... My MIL kept looking at me, I think she can't believe what she heard. Naughty LZfamily isn't it?
After she calmed down, she started showing her concern for me.
This time, we allowed L to sit with her Gorgors and jiejies since she is old enough. She has always wanted to sit with them but we didn't want to trouble the rest to take care of her while they have their meals. Z wanted to join them too but he will have to wait another year... Of coz he still have his fun, going to their table whenever he was not eating.
It was another great family gathering! I'm sure Beanie would enjoy their company as much as LZ.

Thank you Angeline :) We did not order coz the restaurant served the buns too. Thanks for the info and I'm sure it will come in handy :)
Ling
Yes :) I think it would even better if everyone was there but can't possibly ask some of them to fly back :)
