Athirah's 9th Birthday 20090112

AT LAST!!! after 3 years (or even more than that), we have managed to do a rather proper celebration for our daughter's birthday. previously, it was either not held at all, or only held amongst her small family of 3. this year, somehow, after the new baby arrived last year, we had managed to squeeze our tight schedule to do it. we'd invited all of our neighbors, our babysitter & family, and Athirah's closest friend & family. thanks to all who came. a special thanks to my wife for all the hard work and making it happen. and thanks to my wife again for the cleaning up work while i was fast asleep. i was not feeling well since saturday afternoon. (more about that in the next post about chicken). for some reasons, i really would like to make the simple celebration a reality for my daughter. maybe because of the lack of 1 after so many years. and maybe because of the arrival of Izzah. photos can be viewed HERE!
