Today is my Tatay's Birthday! (Although sometimes I call him Papay too).
After waking up early, we quickly dressed up to hear my Papay's Thanksgiving mass at the parish church.

When we got home, we had birthday sotanghon and pandesal for brekie!

Danielle and Daniel together - Tatay with his namesake.

After the photo sessions, it was time for a much loved Latorre tradition - the Birthday Treasure Hunt!
My Mama was the assigned organizer of this year's hunt...
The first clue....
I was Papay's little helper.
"Saan na?!"

Found it! Now for the next clue....

Up the stairs we go....

While Nanang Nes & Nanang T were busy taking pics, Mama was doing double-duty as the organizer and dancing the wowowee dance.

And another one behind the pillows....

Mama on a roll - doing another routine!

Pause for some pics...
