First time ever that I celebrated my birthday. After almost 50 years, so here I am. One week before my 50th birthday.
Well, I just want to mark my gratitude to God for creating me, for all the blessings, family and friends.
My sister and Maria Stella, a friend helped me decorated the place and the result was not so bad :)
My sister Lourdes made the flower decorations and some of the guest admired them and asked the name of the flowershop who made them. They did not know that my sister is very clever with making flower arrangement. My husband told them the secret. He, he. Thanks sis!
Now it's eating time!
Now it's cake eating time:)
The young girls were the first ones to taste the cakes:)
Me and my beloved husband!
Father and daughter!
Beautiful ladies who helped me in the kitchen. Their love shown in deeds:)
Nearest family members in both sides:)
Lovely ladies!
Beautiful, beuatiful, beautiful.............everybody!
Maria Stella sang a song for me " You stand by me" . I was so touched and so were the others too. She is a lovely lady, with a lovely voice and with a loving heart!
And the the best part: The gifts.... he he
And lots of beautiful cards that have money.....money......money inside. Then now I can buy the camera that I dreamed of: Maybe Nikon D5100 or Canon EOS 600 D
And what made my birthday complete is this gift from my friend Claudia Elguezabal from Mexico. She painted a portrait of me!
This is how will I look like forever friends ..... he, he
And a birthday card from my friend Jorlyn who is now in the USA.
Thanks for being there for me.
Next celebration will be after 50 years again, so I expect everybody to come then. He, he
