Busy Four-day holiday during HolyWeek 2011

We unlocked milestones last Holy Week 2011. Lots of first time experiences and lots of fun! We never got some sure rest for a typical holiday, but the four-day break from work gave us a BLAST of first time adventures and really offf-the-record merrymaking!

Day 1: FIRST STOP: Remedios Resort for some FIRST TIME SWIMMING for Cassy and David!
- This is the first time you-Cassy and David made it to a BIG POOL. We've got a cool inflatable pool at home but that was to small. Herein we've got a whole lot bigger one where you guys really had some giigles and jiggles around! 


We are also with Nanay to watch you over as you swim. She'd love to see you guys in your first time swimming... 


One memorable day indeed!




Day 2: Good Friday is our day spent at the church!

It was Good Friday, the entire day was spent for church' activities. In the morning it was a supposedly youth celebration where we get to bring the kids too! And in the afternoon, it was a dose of team building celebration for church workers, where Mommy and Daddy is also included. We've got Pastor Rod Bacus around for some Lenten Season message which is by far so inspiring..



Day 3: Cassy and David got some hands-on Black Theater Practice

It's David and Cassy's first time to do Black Theater. Cute kids ! Nice moves!



Day 4: First ever swimming with Lola Love, Papa and Family! PLUS: It's our car's first out-of-town (out-of-Metro Manila!) getaway!
We've got the whole Cortez Family with us on this Special Day. Papa, Lola Love, Tito Miki, Nong-nong, Tita Neng, Tita Moka, Tita Ina, Tita Bea, Dodoyt plus Tita Anne, Tita Ichay, Nang Nang Rox, Tito Jason and the jolly fellows at Papa's church! First time swimming with the BIG FAMILY! Happy and tired at the end of the day...



Indeed it was a memorable holiday! Four Days of Fun and FIRSTS!

How to have a HAPPY on Valentines Day... let me count the ways...








... AND THIS IS HOW MOMMY AND DADDY HAVE A HAD A HAPPY VALENTINES FOR 2011...

Year 2011 was Mommy's Silver Year
















Daddy was lucky to have a Birthday on a Holiday



It's Daddy's birthday that's why there's a holiday every last day of the year- December 31.

It is as always a joyous celebration. Daddy's birthday being the end of every year is a very busy and much awaited day.

For the year 2010 where Daddy celebrated his 26th, we went to the mall for some family bonding. You Cassy and David had some really good bunch of fun at KIDZ REPUBLIC. Next up is the motorcycle ride where Cassy seemed to be an expert rider while David this time is really starting to learn. I can still remember how David seemed to bang almost every wall when he tried this ride when he was still 2 years old. Now @ 3 he surely learned a lot.

At home was the usually special Media Noche which we can't afford to miss. Daddy's favorites were served every year. Macaroni salad (don't forget the raisins!) and leche flan (fresh from the pan!) was his BLOCKBUSTER TREAT!

As we say goodbye to yet another fruitful and blessed year, we whisper a silent prayer of thanksgiving and praise... for indeed we have been blessed to spend a year long together as a family and celebrate Daddy's birthday every end of that BLESSED YEAR!

It was a busy Christmas break for us last December 2010



It has been a busy Christmas break for us last 2010. But yeah, we had a BLAST!

Before Noche Buena, we went to the mall for some family time. We ate, we played, we shop, ate again and played again.We've had our Noche Buena at home on Christmas Eve.

 On Christmas Day we went to Lola's house for some feast and gift giving. As usual, you kids have been so lucky to have all those new toys as gifts. We also gave our presents to our "inaanak". It was indeed a joyous day...

The next day was a busy day again. We celebrated a Christmas Party at the church. We also received some warm greetings and lots of presents that day. Include the games and awesome performances as part of the fun.

Include the periodic car maintenance in our itinerary for the Christmas break as it has been our most serviceable comrade for this very busy season. On the 27th, we're happy to be having the time to give some fresh makeover for our faithful ride..

We are indeed more than blessed to belong to a big family. Our loved ones are abounding. We belong to our Gleaners' family, family with Nanay Cordia, and family at Lola and Papa. We are so happy, proud and blessed to be spending our memorable Christmas' with them all.

More of these in the coming years! CHEERS!

We played with glowing balls at Technohub



Since we've got our car, our lifestyle has been so mobile and quite exciting. Now mommy and daddy can bring you to church without having ton take a cab or tricycle or jeepney. We can even go out during rainy days. We can bring and fetch you to lola's house anytime without having to worry on our ride. These were the simple blessings we can't take for granted. God knows we need one so he gave this to us. We're more than thankful for such gift.

This is an instant fun at Technohub, near mommy's school/office and tita Roan's office. We just planned to bring her to SM Fairview, but yeah, we headed all the way to Diliman while you Cassy and David are on your pajamas.

Spell HAPINESS... we got it there that day!
