A simple and heartwarming birthday spent with my loved ones

I spend my birthday without much elaboration every year. A simple dinner with my hubby and a cake-cutting session with the children.

I spent this year the same way, but somehow it felt a little different. Perhaps it’s because I have a larger family now, having my 4 (instead of 2) children and hubby celebrating the day with me feels exceptionally heartening and blissful.

Hubby fussed over where to dine and got me my long-awaited “Flow” magazines as my birthday presents. My daughter #2 started celebrating my “big day” 2 days beforehand. She painstakingly built me a lego birthday cake, only to be destroyed by her siblings over and over again. So she cried, again and again, we rebuilt my birthday cake repeatedly, and I sang endless birthday songs to myself in 3 different languages.

My son, usually the cool one, surprised me with a birthday card.

The pictures below say it all.

Strawberry shortcake, I think I have the same cake every year. Delicious enough, no need to look for better ones.

  1. I love simple and especially time spent with family. Enjoy it as much as possible as it will be all too soon that those kids will be all grown up and the times spent together will be fewer and farther between. Happy Birthday.
