Actress/entrepreneur/vlogger Empress Schuck has many reasons to be grateful for this 2020.
Empress and Vino Guingona's daughter, Athalia Guingona, recently celebrated her 5th birthday on September 27.
And since there's an ongoing pandemic, the family had to be creative in making this special day memorable and happy for Athalia.
Empress wanted to surprise her daughter, so she initially told her that there will be no birthday celebration for her this year.
What the unsuspecting Athalia didn't know was that her mom Empress was about to make her wish come true of being Elsa for a day and have a Frozen-themed party.
Of course, Athalia was pleasantly surprised when the Frozen-themed birthday celebration was finally unveiled to her.
But the surprises didn't end there. What Empress didn't know was that her beau, Vino Guingona, also had a surprise for her: a wedding proposal during their daughter's birthday celebration!
See the memorable and touching moments during that special day for Empress Schuck, Vino Guingona, and their daughter Athalia in this photo gallery.

Athalia was deeply touched by her parents' birthday surprise for her. Here she is crying tears of joy.
Of course, a Frozen-themed birthday celebration wouldn't be complete without a Frozen-themed cake.
Here's Athalia blowing the candle on her cake after making a wish.
There were more surprises waiting for the birthday girl. Here she is happily stunned by another one of them.
To make Athalia's birthday extra special since she couldn't invite her friends over due to safety concerns, Empress arranged for an inflatable slide to be assembled in their garage.
Here's Athalia enjoying the inflatable slide in her one-of-a-kind and truly memorable birthday celebration.
One of her famous and generous ninangs gave Athalia an amazing birthday gift. Just look at how delighted she was when she saw it.
Jennylyn Mercado gave Athalia some wonderful toys for her 5th birthday, including this huge kitchen set.

Little did Empress know her sweetheart, Vino Guingona, also cooked up a surprise for her.
Vino got down on his knees and popped the question to Empress during their daughter's 5th birthday celebration.
Rose petals rained down on the couple as Vino put the ring on Empress' finger.
It was clearly an emotional moment for the family.
