It was a weekend of celebration for Ba and Karl as they celebrated their birthdays surrounded by family and an enthusiastic Evie, who loved playing "Happy Birthday" on the piano (accompanied by Opa's baritone). Karl flew in from Florida to surprise Ba, and Evie had a fun time playing with her "Uncle Ka" whether it was showing him her trains or playing hide n' seek. Above, the family enjoys the weather after a brunch at the Tabard Inn.
That night, Evie raises the roof in excitement that it was present time! Or maybe she is just trying to encourage Opa to figure out how to use the timer on the camera.
Evie's gift to Ba was a cooking kit so they can make muffins together. Evie dons her chef hat and apron and would later twirl her whisk in anticipation.
Evie helps Uncle Karl blow out his candles in his ice cream cake.
On Sunday morning, the family gathered at Four Sisters, a Vietnamese restaurant in Falls Church. How appropriate, as there were four sisters to celebrate: Auntie Mailan, Van, Nga and Ba of course. Co Ba, Co Hoan, and Co Hoa also could join us for the lunch, along with Uncle Minh, Tung, Dinh, and Diem, and cousin Kevin too. Whew - what a gathering! Evie is already digging into the cake with both fingers...
