Easter Sunday Supper

spring tulips

Happy Easter!  Check out these spring tulips I found at TJ’s.  They make me happy.

I was a little under the weather so I stayed in and cleaned all weekend.  The dog also got a bath in the bathtub this afternoon, which he didn’t appreciate as much as I did.

deviled eggs

We also had friends over for Sunday Supper.  Jes make some pot roast, I made deviled eggs for the first time, and Michelle brought over some strawberry shortcake.  Yum.

Sunday Supper

giving free air

Jack’s growing fast and walking around the house now.  Koa also had a fun time following him around to lick up all his crumbs.  Jack’s newest thing is to give out free air.  It’s silly but really funny.  Here are the rest of the photos.

For your viewing pleasure…

After a few hours of sorting and post-processing from RAW to .jpg, here are the photos from the Chiempornsakul Wedding Reception.  I hope I’ve captured enough to pretty much give you a good idea of what went down that night.

Here are just a few of the photos…

The Wedding continued…

reception

As a continuation of Joy and Johnny’s wedding in Hawaii, we held a local reception on Saturday at the Cerritos Library.  The dress code was casual Hawaiian so it was great to be able to wear flip-flops to a wedding reception.

feast

The party was complete with a Thai feast, slideshows, speeches, dancing, drinking, and plenty of hijinks.

neighborhood kids

I was so happy to see my family all together again and it was fun to see Johnny with his friends from all the stages of his life.

dancing

There were lots of little kids and toddlers roaming around and it was fun watching little Brandon boogie down on the dance floor among all the grown-ups and slightly older kids. He’s the little guy in the sweatshirt on the bottom-right doin’ his own thang.

Overall, the party was a success and ended with the bride and groom leaving the place in a dizzy slurring mess. We hung out with them this morning at the Magical House and it was good to see them alive and well with the exception of a little tiredness in their eyes.  I’ve been back in SF for only an hour and I miss home already.  I guess it’s time to book my next flight. 🙂

This is dedicated to Brother…

It’s National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! Wooooooooo! I’ve always loved the combination but I’ve recently rediscovered the benefits of having it for breakfast each morning. I bring a slice of wheat bread to work, toast it at the cafeteria, grab a PB packet and a strawberry jelly packet, and voila! Breakfast!
