Grandparents Day & Visit from NY Cousins

We celebrated Grandparents Day today with the family since we were out of town on our road trip up north last weekend on the actual Grandparents Day.  We just did a simple bbq and the girls got the Grandparents a nice little picture frame with a picture of them in it.  Mommy didn't have time to help us make anything big this year.  It was fun!  Then we had a nice little surprise visit from some out of town relatives which you'll see by their picture below.

We didn't get around to getting a picture of Grandpa & Grandma Ly alone with the girls but here they are with our surprise visitors from New York, Julie & Tuyen (same spelling as my Dad but pronounced differently).  They are originally from France and moved to NY about a couple of years ago.  Tuyen's Grandfather Bac Hai visits us all the time all the way from France!  I've met Tuyen years and years ago when we were both very young.  It was good to see him again and meet his wife Julie.  We met up with them the next day also in Little Saigon to have some yummy Vietnamese food that they were craving and got to know them both a little better.  Thanks for visiting us while you were in town!  Also, Happy Grandparents Day to both sets of Grandparents!  The girls are so lucky to have you in their lives!
