Let the Festivities Begin...

2 more days until I am ONE !!! I went home this weekend with Mommy and Daddy to celebrate early. We drove to Winchester late Friday night and stayed with Grandma and Grandpa. Saturday morning, we woke up and went to Ba Ngoai and Ong Ngoai's house to celebrate with a party. It was lots of fun to see my family and friends. And then we all got such a nice surprise - Aunt Tam and Uncle Nathan celebrated Uncle Nathan's birthday with the arrival of their Baby - my cousin Nathan. Mommy and Daddy went to go see Baby Nathan on his birth day but I had to stay home because I'm too little and it was after visiting hours.

On Sunday, we went to breakfast to meet Chang and Mina. They are getting married this Saturday so we wanted to wish them well and just hang out with them. Afterwards, we went to Ba Co's house to help celebrate Cousin Minh's birthday. He turns one this Friday. It was great to see and play with all my cousins. Then, we headed to the Memorial Day Monteith BBQ. I got to see my Monteith Family there. Then, we were back in the car and headed home to Greensboro. Daddy, Mommy and I are tired from our short and busy visit but its always so nice to be with our family.

Can't wait to tell you all about the rest of the week. So far, I have really enjoyed birthday cake and cookies. I think there is more cake for me on Thursday and Saturday - I'll let you know.
