Today is my mother-in-law’s birthday so we invited in-law families over for a dinner.

Waiting to be cooked…

Chloe and Shane were in charge of  drinks and they made limeade! Chloe even put lime slices in each cup.

A juicy burger

Grilled corn on the cob with freshly grated Parmesan and chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves (from our garden)

Chicken with rosemary

Sweet and spicy chicken drumettes and wings

Grapefruit and arugula salad with fennel and cucumber

The oldest grandkid.

Shane’s the youngest of her 11 grandkids.

Happy 75th birthday! I’m so blessed to have such a loving and kind mother-in-law. We love you so much…

We went to Norwood to see fireworks and it was the very first time for the kids. Chloe’s been talking about this for days!

Chloe’s festive toe nails

waiting for the fireworks…

This morning I made creme brulee french toast for breakfast.

He was so excited that he started Kumon. People around him were laughing whenever he responded in his deep, loud and unbashful voice.

We were invited to a BBQ / pool party this afternoon. So we rushed from one party to the other.

Kids LOVED being in the pool and they hardly came out of the water.

Andrew’s favorite part was the stunning view of the golf course right behind their backyard. After dinner, some of the golfers went out to play.

Feast!

They even have two gorgeous dogs.

Awww, look how sad Chloe looks… because we had to leave…

Thank you Lont’s family for having us over for awesome food and company!

We’re back in NJ just in time for the party!

This was a marvelous 1st birthday party.

Everything was just so pretty and dazzling!

The newest addition to the Mun family.  You guys look absolutely gorgeous.

Happy first, Eliana! Thanks for letting us be part of such special celebrations!

Where we are staying

Chloe knows that I take pictures whenever I see beautiful flowers, so she goes in front and gives me the camera ready smile.

We walked down the famous Bellevue ave.

Newport Mansions

A very  nice lady offered to take our family picture. Too bad we weren’t in focus…

Goodbye Newport until next time.

This dude woke me up at 7 am after going to bed at 10. I was expecting him to wake up much later, grrr. Chloe and Andrew were still sleeping so I took him out to take a walk around the hotel for little bit. He wanted to go to the pool again, so he got mad at me. Can you tell?

When he saw that I was going to take a picture of him, he turned around and sat down.He’s quite the character.

Finally everyone’s up and we can have some breakfast!

My sweet munchkins

Newport, here we come!

We arrived at this beautiful hotel around 8pm and Andrew had a wonderful idea of checking out the indoor pool before the kids go to bed.

It was the best idea he had during the trip! We had the whole pool to ourselves and had a great time being silly and just playing. Kids went to bed around 10pm!
