Birthday Boy and Girl 2014

Gabe turned  2 on 24 March 2014 and Rania is 4 years old on 16 April 2014. The birthday parties for both grandchildren are small and quietly involved family members only. Gabe had a bigger crowd of relatives as he has more uncles and aunties and cousins to dote on him, While Rania has only an uncle and an auntie on his mother's side and a nenek. she has more uncles and aunties on his dad's side but they are in Australia. But the parties went on and the birthday kids were just as happy especially when opening their birthday presents.

Gabe was fascinated with the little cars which rolled down the tiny ram.

The birthday boy received  cars after cars - tiny, big and bigger while Rania received the girlie things like Queen Lisa's attire with tiara and all, sleeping baby, microphone. She has a grand time belting 'Let it Go' of Frozen using the microphone. We wondered whether she's going to be a singer or gets herself involved in performing arts. While Gabe, we think, would get himself into cars like racing. His father is aiming to introduce him to go-kart when he is a bit bigger.

While Gabe had his birthday party on 23 March but spent his actual birthday visiting Aquaria with his parents, Nenek and Kak Rania, the next day
I am so proud of my grandchildren. They are my life, bringing me much joy and happiness. I hope to have much more joy in the future with them and see them grow up to be fine boy and girl. Insyaallah.
Love you much much Rania and Gabe. You must know that wherever I go you two are permanently engraved  in my heart.

Rania is a busy little missie now. Every Sunday she attends gymnastic class and seems to enjoy it. Weekends mean outing with her parents. The same thing with Gabe. He is weaning himself out from clinging to his parents and soon he will be independent, doing his own thing. I love to see him smile and laugh. His deep dimples make him look so adorable.
