Frank Lee turns 80 something...

The Lee Family had the annual birthday party at our common Chinese Restaurant this past weekend to celebrate Will's dad. As you can see from Tyler's face, he didn't want to be in the picture. I don't think I've ever seen his lips quite that sad. It is always such an ordeal to get all of the grandkids looking good in the picture.

We feasted on lobster salad (smothered in a mayonnaise sauce, one of my favorites), giant scallops (Bryan loved these), abalone, fish, and numerous other gourmet dishes. My sister and her husband were able to make it as well and it was good to be able to speak to someone in English and have a conversation while eating. I'm not really used to that. By the way, Michelle Kwan was in the room next door to ours celebrating someone else's birthday. I didn't see her but my nieces were starstruck.

Mikayla loves the gelatinous decorations on the bean paste bun plate that we are always brought for dessert. They're made with flour and water and something else and one of the leaves has to come home with us every time. It gets pretty disgusting overnight but then it magically disappears the next morning.

My sister Cara with her youngest, Austin. He didn't like sitting for 3 hours (who would) but absolutely inhaled the crispy shrimp chips that came with, what I call, the chainsaw chicken. It literally looks like they took a chainsaw to a cooked chicken and then decorated the plate with shrimp chips and the head of the dead chicken. It's quite a sight. Thanks, Cara and Bryan, for making the dinner fun for me!
