I Thank You

HAPPY 54TH BIRTHDAY, MUM!

It's my Mum's birthday today and also the night we had our reunion dinner. A big affair this time, it included all of my Mum's (surviving) siblings and their almost-complete families. Absent were my grandfather (who is sadly still in hospital), my Aunt Mary, my cousins Cassandra and Javier, and my cousin's husband Kien Hwee:

It's always nice to have the family around for dinner, even if the whole reunion thing isn't really a big deal for all of us because we see one another so often!
