Afternoon tea at the Hello Kitty Grand Cafe at the Irvine Spectrum. I’ve been waiting to come here since they opened! I was lucky to get a reservation the day before even though it was a holiday weekend. Nat and I had an amazing time enjoying all the cuteness. Upon arrival, we checked in with a gal at a podium and she led us into the “Bow Room” via a secret door. We entered into a magnificently pink Hello Kitty room. Everything was so cute!!

We spent Memorial Day weekend in LA this year. On Saturday, David went to help Uncle Tommy put in some flooring, so Nat and I went out for afternoon tea and shopping. (Separate post on that coming!) Tyler stayed back to hang out with Kaiya and Gavin. In the evening, we went over to Grandma’s house for dinner.

Nat was helping Uncle Steven with his Instagram

Girl cousins

On Sunday, we went out to have XLB for lunch

Po Po and Gong Gong prepared a really nice hot pot dinner. It rained on Sunday!

The weekend went by quick. We headed back early Monday morning to avoid traffic.

婆婆 and 公公 came to visit this weekend along with Vanida’s parents. On Saturday, we hosted a BBQ for dinner and all the cousins came over. The house was full! The kids swam, played ping pong, and rode their bikes outside. I need to figure out how to make more space and expand our house to fit more people!

Nat made a nice Mother’s Day cake

All the moms

After it got dark outside, the kids came inside to play Jackbox

On Sunday, all of us drove to a Burmese monastery in the Santa Cruz mountains for a celebration lunch. Some of us dressed in traditional Burmese attire

Delicious Burmese food

A short hike up a hill to see the pagoda at the top

David got some security footage of the kids causing trouble.

What were they doing? Tyler was shooting a wasp nest while Nat tried to record it on her phone. Apparently he hit it on his first try and they ran for dear life!
