cumpleanios papa

birthday lunch with papa.

Tuesday was Marcus' birthday. As a special treat Emi and I went uptown and met him at the Epicenter for lunch. We ducked into our favorite little Vietnamese restaurant there where Emilia ate her way through 2 cha gios (Vietnamese spring rolls - so divine) and, thankfully, didn't irritate the other lunch patrons.

When we came home I set to work on making Marcus' special birthday dinner and cake (this year he requested pineapple upside-down, so of course I had to consult my dad). When Emilia woke up from her nap she was upset the cake was already made (she wanted to "play cocina con mama" - play kitchen with me). As a consolation prize I let her help put the candles on instead.

guess what i'll be having for dinner.



loved seeing the candles all lit up - guess she thought it was her birthday again.
