I took Dee Dee and baby into Seattle to wander around the waterfront on one of the days that Ron had to work at school.
Since Dee Dee was unable to fly out for Lia's 1st birthday, she decided to throw an one-and-half-year-old birthday party instead (Lia turned 18-months on the day she flew in). Here are Lola and grand baby with the birthday cake. Lia was apparently more interested in the cake than Lola or posing for the picture.
Li Li using the "pincher approach" to eating cake. I'm going to have to try that one out.

We went on a walk one day around the pond (they have the nerve to call it a "lake") found in a park a few minutes from our house.
We joined Ron's Uncle Oscar (Dee Dee's brother), Aunt Patty, and Ron's cousin, Gina, and her kids for dinner one night at our favorite Filipino restaurant in Tacoma. Please notice Ron's model-worthy, gorgeous, small boned, exotic cousin on my left. He's got several of these on his mom's side of the family....it's just a good thing I've got some self-esteem in my back pocket or I would have thrown myself off a cliff years ago! :-)
We hosted a Filipino-themed dinner party one night for 12 adults with food Dee Dee had cooked herself. It was absolutely divine! It seriously was as good, if not better, than what a restuarant could provide! Here is the master-cook taking care of some last minute details.
Yum, now I need to go make myself some lumpia!!! Wish I could have come over to eat!
ReplyDeleteOoh, can she come cook at my house too? ha ha I wish I had been at that dinner party. Glad that Lia could spend time with her pretty Grandma!
ReplyDeleteFood looks delish! I didn't realize Ron had so many family members in the area?! Great to talk to you yesterday!
