Shopping and a Family Dinner on a Saturday

...just make the weekend perfect! I was hesitant to go to the mall last Saturday but we had to, since we needed to buy gift for Alex's "baby" for the Mommy Bloggers' Christmas party. Alex will be giving (or gave) a gift to Jacob (of Apols) so we went to the Shoe section. At first we went to the infants' section and tried on some for Alex. And guess what we discovered? It just didn't fit anymore. So off we went to the children's section and there, we found her size. It just means one thing, Alex is no longer a baby. :( (and Jacob too! hehehe!)

Yes, yes, I know I guess I just have to accept that my Baby Alex is already a toddler. She was amazed at the shoes in the store that she wanted to fit everything! Oh yes, she definitely loves shoes (just like Mama! :D). I also went window-shopping for some clothes but still have to wait for the budget to come...

We had lunch at Pancake House by the way but it wasn't decent. LOL! Alex wanted to check out the arcade in front so Hubby and I ended up taking turns to eat. We didn't bring her yaya thinking that she will be fine (or should I say we will be fine!?). It was a short trip to the mall anyway so it was ok. After the errands we went straight home.

We rested for a couple of hours then prepared for dinner. It was actually my cousin-in-law's (Hubby's Cousin) graduation celebration at Tomas Morato. The restaurant (which I can't exactly remember the name) was nice. It was Chinese restaurant and they reserved a small room for the family and relatives. Food was great and the place was nice too. Food was served in lauriat style. The funny thing is everyone was looking forward to Yangchao Fried Rice but it wasn't served. LOL! They said that noodles were served in place of the rice. Oh I see! I just realized that we Filipinos can't just live without rice!

But with or without the rice, the dinner was perfect! We get to see Hubby's relatives again and it was sort of a mini reunion. Here's my cousin-in-law in her toga.
