Lolo's 89th Birthday and lots of kids!

Today we celebrated my grandpa’s 89th birthday and it was the first time I broke the news to my big family in Maragondon, Cavite.

I am very happy that it turned out well, it should because I ordered a whole lechon for everyone! 🙂 Almost everybody kept telling me it’s going to be a girl. I’d love to be excited but I am still itching for the 4D ultrasound that’s scheduled on Saturday.

Aaron, Ate Ancie’s son is the latest addition to the growing family. Mama enjoyed feeding him and carrying him around. Azrael and I enjoyed the lechon 😀

I am starting to realize how important having a big family is, it’s really fun compared to having minute family members. The terrace was just overflowing with kids, some have grown up really quick.

I took the chance to get my sour fix from lolo’s kamias tree. It’s ages old, I remember we still play around this tree when my cousins, sisters, and I were around 5 years old. Now I am going to have a baby, it’s still alive!

My godson, JM helped me pick kamias fruits from the tree but I also used lolo’s panungkit. Now I am enjoying fresh kamias dipped in iodized salt – yummy! 🙂

We felt our baby’s first strong kick last night, both me and Az freaked out like teenagers. It feels really weird!
