The reason I came home this weekend was because my brother is turning 30 today and my parents wanted to have dinner as a family to celebrate the occasion.

My mom loves my niece!

My other niece explores under the table.

Takeout chinese food.

My niece is still learning to talk. Barney helps.

My sister and her family.

Happy happy birthday cake. My dad played a birthday song CD which brought back memories. 

My aunt and grandma pray the rosary in tagalog downstairs.

I try to go home once a month to visit the fam — usually I get pretty homesick when I look thru my photos, haha.
