On Saturday, we celebrated my daughter’s baptism and Pre-K graduation. The baptism was held at St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church in Astoria, and the after-party/reception was at Astoria World Manor. We were truly blessed to have so many people celebrate with us.
Today is my Dad’s 83rd birthday!
We went to London Lennies, one of our favorite restaurants, to celebrate.
I celebrated my cousin’s 40th birthday on the Hornblower Atlantica this past Saturday. It was so much fun! We had the whole boat to ourselves. She had a package with drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and a buffet. She also had a fun DJ. The best part was catching Manhattan’s Hudson and East River views.
We spoiled him rotten, as we should 😁.
It was a good day. Filled with family, love, and flower pots!
I’m celebrating Epiphany with my family this weekend by enjoying a galette des rois , aka King Cake. A trinket is hidden within the cake, and whoever finds it becomes King or Queen for the day.
Update:
The second galette des rois got devoured before I got a chance to take a picture.
Maxine was truly blessed this Christmas and received many amazing gifts, including many crafts. Seeing her (and my husband for some) putting everything together pulled on my heartstrings.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day was spent with family.
