Dad's Birthday and Brother's Honeymoon

One thing I dread about living far away from my parents is seeing their pics and realizing that they look older than the last time I saw them. Gladly my Mom has the privilege of being forever younger than her real age (people always guess that she's around her 50's whereas her real age is 61) and she always rejoices in that fact. Just now my brother sent me a batch of pictures of my family after he bought a digital camera right before his honeymoon.

December 27th was my Dad's 65th birthday and my brother and wife bought him a birthday cake along with the candles and some pizza. Yeah, Dad specifically asked for pizza from Pizza Hut (he's a HUGE fan of pizza from that resto) even though Mom had cooked some other dishes ha ha ha ha ha ha...I was touched when I saw how HAPPY Dad was in this pic, but my heart also sank when I realized that he had grown older than the last time I saw him. Anyway, at least he looks VERY happy, don't you think so?




It was clear to me that Dad dressed up for the occasion. By the way, that's the shirt I bought him about two years ago he he he he...There's also a picture of my Mom alone, but she didn't look her best, so I don't want to share it here he he he he...Instead, I'll share a pic of my brother and wife in Bali Bird Park on their honeymoon he he he...Here it is!!!




And here's a stunning pic of sunset in Bali. Bro bought a digital camera with 12.1 MP (IXUS 960), so it can capture more amazing pics than mine can he he he he...



Ahhhh...my family...I LOVE them and God bless them!!!
