Leona's 9th Birthday


As to celebrate Leona's 9th birthday.  We gave her a big family birthday hug.  We gave our birthday presents which is the Barbie glitter doll (her wish doll),  a book and a CD on how to play guitar.  She went to shool for half a day.  Roger and I went to their school in the afternoon for parents teacher conference.  The girls both did a great job. 

For dinner per her choice we went to friendlys, and the waitress got a chance to sing a happy birthday to her.  Once we get home she have her 2nd 9th birthday cake with us. 

According to her it was once a gain a happy good birthday.  So glad to hear this from her.  Wow still can't believe my oldest daughter is 9 years old.

CCD Day

It is Saturday but we still gets up early.  Angel my younger child needs to go to CCD class.  We all don't want to but we have to.  here in America, religion class is not part of their school curiculum unlike in Philippines.  Lucky if they do their morning prayers before the class starts in the morning.  Anyway as parents it is our obligation to bring up our child to God, to believe in God.  CCD is one of this obligation for Catholic.  It is a 2 year program.  At least next year Angel will be going on Sunday morning class.  During the 9 o'clock mass they will be dismiss to go to their CCD class.  This is more convenient for everyone and fair for her as well.  Everyone will be up and get ready for church.  The class is only for an hour.

Is Santa real?


Now that I am done w/ my Christmas shopping I have to start wrapping.  My kids still believe in Santa at least my younger one; I am not sure w/ Ate Leona though.  She always gives us some hint questions about Santa.  Roger and I already had a plan that after Christmas we will have to talk to her about this. She is a very smart girl.  Right now she have all this thoughts that if Santa is not real how mommy and daddy can afford to buy all of the stuff they get.  They never see us bringing bags and bags of stuff.  All of this made us the decision that it is time to open up to her.  And why parents have to do things like Santa; where all this tradition came from.  We don’t want to think that we us parents are lying to her, in which we keep telling them not to lye.


Hopefully she will understand and there is no reason why.
