Easter Sunday with Family

2011-04-24 Easter Sunday with Family, a set on Flickr.

For Easter, we visited Maria's Mom in Oakland and cooked breakfast. Mom ordered more food from a Chinese restaurant near Fruitvale Avenue. Alex and Heidi came by with baby Ellie, too. What a terrific day.

Dad's 85th Birthday Brunch

2011-04-10 Dad's 85th Birthday Brunch, a set on Flickr.

We took Dad to Moonstar Restaurant in Daly City for his 85th Birthday. I think we ALL ate too much...and Maria (who had to work) made us sneak about 20 almond cookies out of the buffet (they have cameras all over, too)! LOL. Happy Birthday, Dad! Afterwards, we drove into Berkeley and Alexandra got a belated birthday present—a nose piercing!

Today, we all went to the Mountain View Cemetery for Qingming (or Ancestors Day) to pay our respects to the deceased, including my mother, my brother Randy, and my grandparents. Thanks to my aunts for always taking the time to plan and arrange these special visits.
