sister's birthday..

so we had a reunion of sorts. haven't been together since 2006. my niece arielle flew out from kentucky and of course there was me from my travels. we all came together to celebrate my sister's 45th birthday...IT WAS A FEAST - palaboc (sort of like a noodle dish but with a way better sauce), steamed blue crab and a mango mousse cake

the women of the family - pops was sleeping

mom cooking up a storm - as usual
