Mothers' Day Celebration

Derod and I took our families out for dinner together. It has become an increasingly regular thing where we just kill two birds with one dinner. The in-laws enjoy one another's company and the atmosphere is always very amiable so it works out very well for us.

We took to Vivocity's HK Kim Gary's (thanks to han&karen's recommendation some time back which got us drooling at the thought of the pork chops ever since) for a simple dinner and a walk around the shopping centre thereafter. It pretty much felt like a tour guide leading a pack of tourists; nine adults and a kiddo, plus constant stops to look at things along the way and to pass the Bundle from one set of arms to another. But eventually we did make it to a car roadshow where gabe got to do his vroom vroom behind a set of wheels, and to check out a pair of sandals for his very fleshy and large feet.

It was a good evening. The oldies enjoyed the meal, gabe gave the uncle/ aunties many hearty laughs in return for their attention, and derod and I got a good breather since there were seven other people playing "pass the gabriel" that night *wink*.

"Practising my walk with my gonggong and waigong."

"With my ah ma and waipo!"

"Why must we take a family picture? I want to playyyyy..."

"Yeah! That's more like it."

"Ah pek!!! He's the first person I can address on the paternal side of the family."

"Gugu knows I love to splash around. Doesn't matter gugu's all wet. I'm sure she enjoyed it as much as I did."

"Better be careful..."

"Hmmm... looks safe, and fun"

"It is fun! SPLASH!"
