Susan's surprise party...

Last Sunday, my dad threw a little surprise party for Susan in recognition of her achievement in getting into Western pharmacy school. However, to keep it a secret from Susan, he said the party was for Terrence in recognition of his milestone in learning to crawl. My sister thought my dad was being too prideful as grandparents and relay how silly he was being to all her friends. Little did she know...

My two sisters...Susan and Nancy

My mom and sis looks great in this shot

Before the surprise was sprung, the adults were having lunch outside on the patio. After a few margaritas in them, my dad and his old partner were very happy campers.

My dad's old partner Bac Thiet. He retired here to Dana Point and lives just around the corner.

Susan checking out all the cakes people brought to celebrate.

Nancy did a pretty good job writing this. Well...except for the misspelling in "School" ;)

Showing off the fact that the cake cutter is in the shape of a fish.

I was on fire or my sister Susan just looks great that day. All my shots were so natural and looks great like this one.

Always a challenge to cut a custard cake. This particular one felt more like a hybrid of custard and sponge.

Another candid of Susan. Looking great!

I like this shot looking back at Julie and framed by the two chairs.

When there is a party or guest, it's almost impossible for Terrence to fall asleep. Here he is after we tried to put him down, all red from fighting the nap.
