July 4th Celebrations

What a fun weekend! The Mah Family was in town to celebrate the nation's birthday as well as Grandma Mah's 30th (x 2) birthday :)

We had some great quality time with our favorite nephew Ethan



We put our heads together and cooked Grandma birthday dinner on Friday night - fish tacos with mango slaw, ribs, cilantro-lime rice, black beans and asparagus.


Who knew? The queen of desserts does NOT like dessert - so we opted for some fruity sorbet and gelato instead (please excuse the horrible singing).



The next day we went swimming - Ethan's first time in the pool! He loved it.

And finally we had our big SURPRISE party for Grandma Mah (we got her good!)...


Complete with a Violet Jeopardy game...


Skits with her friends and family...


And a choreographed song and dance!


Mah Family Pic - Happy Birthday Grandma Mah!


And one last shot of Baby Ethan and his still-in-the-womb cousin - he's so darn cute :)
