Anna's Karaoke Birthday Party, Part 1

Let me preface this blog by saying a big "Thank You" to Steve's parents for coming all the way down here from Walnut Creek for Anna's birthday. They didn't have an easy drive, but were still so helpful with the preparations for this special day. Sam and Anna had a lot of fun with them, thank you so much Marilyn and Ted!


On Sunday, February 22, we celebrated Anna's birthday. Grandma Mieko, Anna and Sam eagerly await the party guests.


The menu included my mom's California rolls, chicken salad, pizza, fried chicken, strawberries, and chips and hummus.


Hard to believe that Anna already reaches Yumi's chin!


Mari and I pose before all the "noise".


The guests start to arrive. Rachel, Anna and Maddy enjoy some lunch.


In the backyard, the airplane seesaw surprisingly offered tons of endless fun for the kids. I don't know what the boys would have been doing without it.


Lucy, another Sam, and Maddy enjoy the ride.


Fortunately no one got injured despite the various tricks being performed.
Next, singing madness!
