President's Day weekend 2013

Aneela baaji visited us this weekend and we went to eat at Hometown Buffet, Pearl Tea House (for Choozo's fave red bean boba) and had dinner at home on Saturday night where the kids got presents from Auntie Mona and Aneela baaji (phopho).

Choozo's fascination

He loves taking part in whatever his dad and I are doing, be it making cakes or fixing the car. He would wait patiently handing tools to his dad or he would use my leftover fondant to make his creations.

Choozi bday at school

She had an ear infection last Friday and we made up for today at school!
Thanks to her teachers Mrs Candy and Ms Brittany!

We love cake!

 

Our family tradition when celebrating birthdays, we eat and eat till we cannot anymore.

I made from scratch chicken satay, prawn skewers, curry chicken, tom yum soup, crispy fried bean curd with minced prawn meat, Trader Joe's Korean beef short ribs & mushroom empanadas. Ammi made 3 Pakistani appetizers (eggrolls, Dai Berai, choleh & dessert Kheer). Uncle Kong - our designated pit master who bbq the meats.

 

 

Her birthday cake was made by our dear friend, Mimih and mini desserts from local french bakery Le Parisien. Kheer (rice pudding by ammi).
