My journey as a mother: Dad 70th Birthday Celebration

After a few weeks of preparations, we had a blast celebrating our dad 70th birthday last night. Alhamdulilah, it ran without a hitch and we enjoyed the company and the food. Its all good!

My parents didnt know about it, although maybe they suspected something but we did succeed to surprise them on the night. My youngest brother pretended to take them out to dinner without us. But we already planned to go to the restaurant a bit later and surprised them with a birthday cake.

We waited outside for a few minutes then my brother came out and brought us all in to surprise my dad, and he was so surprise to see all of us there and kept on saying he had no clue, lol. We told him we planned for it for a few weeks already,and it succeed.

Lovely night it was. We had a good food, we presented him with our gift and after dinner we had a few games. It was so fun. I am hoping we could do this again next time, maybe for our mom.

The family were waiting outside the restaurant to surprise our dad.

I came with the birdaycake and dad was really surprise!

We were singing happy birthday to him, he was overjoy!

Blowing the candle.

We then moved to a special room for the ocassion where we decorated earlier.

After the cake, my nephew was reading the thanksgiving prayer.

One of the highlights of the evening was a slideshows which showed my dad journey in life, from his young years, till he got married and have us. Very emotional time and lots of laugh too, looking at the old pictures.

Game no 2 is folding the newspaper and make them into the highest building they could muster within 15 minutes. This was so fun and everyone took part, even my parents.

Trying very hard to fold the newspaper into one standing build up without any other help except some paper pins and a few strings.

Not bad, but they didnt win when the building collapse at the end of the time, aaaww....
