Ba Ngoai's Birthday!

We celebrated my Mom's birthday today at a new restaurant called Kona on PCH.  I think it's in Sunset Beach and it was the old Sam's Seafood.  We went for their Sunday brunch, which was Hawaiian Style with the whole family.  My brother came up from San Diego and Janai & her Mom stayed at our place from the crop marathon yesterday.  It was a totally fun afternoon!  Felt like we were in Hawaii at a Luau!

Ba Ngoai is so happy with her two girls!
Can you believe this is really the whole family?!  We've gotten so big and are so blessed that we can all get together and enjoy each other's company for these special occasion!
Can you believe that my mom is on stage dancing on her birthday?  What a sport!  It was so funny and I know she can shake it much more than that!  I think she was a little shy but who wouldn't be up on stage like that!
As always Makayla is always there to help blow out candles!  Especially birthday ones!

Our little family picture with the hula dancers.  Mylee is actual awake for another picture!  Yay since we don't have many pictures of the 4 of us together.

Lucy, Janai's mom got us to pose for this great family picture.  Thanks Lucy for getting us all together even though I'm sure there was some grudging!

Had to add this picture of our little Mylee....when we came home after brunch, Binh & Janai hung around to watch some football games since it is Sunday and if you don't remember, that's all Ryan does during football season is sit on the couch on Sunday's.  This must have been a special occasion for him to leave the house and his games.  Anyways, while we were hanging out my Dad was playing peek a boo with her and she was giggling and laughing really loud & hard.  Too cute!  She's just a happy, mellow baby and so easy going!  Well, Happy Birthday Ba Ngoai!  Hope you had a great birthday and enjoy your cruise to Mexico from us in December!
