Alvin Birthday 1 Aug 2017

Actually on the night before, 31st July around 11.30pm, we have started to celebrate Daddy’s birthday. We have a mini treasure hunt (birthday presents hunt) around our house. I have got this ideas from the internet, and found that it is very interesting and fun!

I have been planning for this 2 weeks before, as get ready the birthday presents, and the treasure hunt thing, scratching my head and think how to do the clues cards out, planning where and when to hide, etc. I was so worried that it turn out to a not-so successful one… Confused smile

We have got Daddy 2 birthday gifts, a birthday card and a birthday cake. So we have 4 surprises in total. I just randomly put the birthday card and presents at one of the points, then the birthday cake would be the last to find.

We just give Daddy the 1st clue and Daddy started to find his next clues. And, it is so simple and obvious! He managed to find it! The first clue was hidden at the front door!

The second clue too, it is too easy to look for! The place where we eat our dinner is the dining table!

The third clue, I hide the card in the bathroom mirror cabinet because there are no other place! Here, I put the Birthday Card for Daddy.

The fifth clue, was a bit harder for Daddy, as he does not know normally where I keep our bath towels. Issac helped his Daddy on this. Daddy managed to find a present here!

The sixth clue, was easier one too. Daddy always sit on the couch, kick his feet up and rest while watching TV after taking his bath.

The seventh clue was a bit difficult as Daddy did not know what is the meaning of ‘nuke’. Issac helped Daddy as I placed another present in our old microwave.

The eighth clue was the oven. Then I created a last one which lead Daddy to the fridge for the Birthday Cake!

Daddy together with Issac and Annabelle blew the candles together and cut the cakes.

After that, it was the time to unwrap the presents we give! Daddy firstly opened and read the birthday card which both Issac and Annabelle together with Mummy hand picked the card and read what every one of us got to say to him.

Then, Daddy opened the first present which is a watches display box. I had seen him every time just put all his watches in the drawers. Then, I was thinking like, may be I should buy him a box that at least can keep his watches.

This year, I really do not have much monies to buy an expensive gift for him. He looked happy and put all his watches inside the box. It is a green colour leather decorative box with 3 small pads to hold the watches inside. Just nice as he have 3 watches in total.

The second gift Daddy opened is a picture frame with our family photo inside. It is our temple sealing photo in front of the Cebu Temple at Philippines.

Four of us standing happily in front of the House of the Lord. I told Daddy that, we would like him to put our family photo at his office, where he can see us everyday he works.

I just told Daddy that there are only little presents which costs a little that I am able to buy for him. He said, it doesn’t matter as the heart and mind counts and he love all of us! We hug and love this man of our life too! Red heart Red heart Red heart

Our mission accomplished!
