Birthday and Mother's Day

This post is old news but I decided to post it anyway for it would be a waste to just archive these photos without the family seeing them. These were from Mother's Day which incidentally fell on my birthday too. It was held in Vallejo where Olga and Bil, as usual, served some very good food. For our part, Mom made seafood pasta and her yummy fruit salad. Mama Maru, brought BBQ from the best BBQ place in town, Fil-Am. This place is a hole-in-the wall with mostly just to-go BBQ chicken or pork but is just packed with people especially on weekends.

Lunch started as soon as everyone arrived. Kumiko, Bil's coworker brought some delectable cupcakes which was a hit.


Olga served oysters which was easily a favorite.





Papa Joey gave Rafael this remote-controlled monster truck. Rafael literally dropped everything when he saw it. But I think the adults enjoyed it more =).
