Happy Birthday Mom!
12 Nov
Today’s my mom’s birthday! It was a simple birthday celebration at my parent’s house. I had offered to buy dinner and bring it home, but she had insisted on cooking herself. In the Filipino culture, birthdays are celebrated by cooking a dish called pancit, which is a noodle dish with vegetables and some kind of meat. My mom chose to put chicken it it. She even grilled some spare ribs! My sister bought this delicious chocolate cake.
Of course, I had to take pictures of the food, and especially the cake. It looked beautiful and was delicious. Now that I think of it, I wish I had taken some home when my mom had asked! Oh well… I’m trying to lose weight, and the cake won’t help! Hah.
My mom blowing out the candles on her cake. See the flowers? Glen gave those to my mom, how sweet! 
I’m holding my nephew, who looks like he wants a piece of that cake!
And also, we celebrated our dog Lex’s birthday too! We think he was born around November since he was 2 months when we adopted him. He’s 4 years old now!
