!!Van's Surprise 21st* B-Day Party!!

So Van finally turned..ahem...21..cough!! And, to celebrate her march to retirement, Dan and I decided to throw her a bday surprise party. Well, not so much of a surprise since she saw all the cars parked in the front, but, being a good sport she is, here is Van acting all surprise!!

Just look at the tasty food!! And that was just the appetizers...for the booze!! For the record, I told Dan pizzas and wings may not go well with Vietnamese spring rolls, but after a couple of glasses of Rieslin, who cares??? Oh...and guess who made the delicious spring rolls??? :)

A nice picture of the Yaya sisters...Van, Holly, and Bonnie!!

Dan got Van a great Chinese birthday cake. Make your wish! That's Dan hollering behind Van - we all know what Dan wanted Van to wish for!! Whoa!! :)

Van is getting ready to blow out the candles. Bonnie must be wondering if her workout instructor would have a cow if she were to eat a slice of cake (must get the buns-of-steel). Dan, well, see notes above...

Long, always the gentleman, helped Van to cut the cake (either that or he wanted the first dip at the biggest slice....) I think Bonnie decided to be good since she was chowing down on the beansprout!!

Matt and Leon chilled out in the kitchen..

Cute shot of Dan and Van (see notes from 4 pictures above...)

Smile for the camera...everybody say it together now...awwwwwww...now get a room!!

Ah....Dave, after a couple of glasses, decided to try out for American Idol.....

Meanwhile, Leon is being pinched from all sides...

Finally...I am in a picture..a shot of me and Bonnie..note to self..don't hug so hard next time...

A group picture of all the trouble makers...Christian, Trae, Edward, and me...may be I should have put a big black dot over Trae's fingers!!

The rest of the trouble makers...Hey...we are missing one..where was Dave?

Ah yes...there he was...face as red as a tomato..and what's the deal with the fingers? A new gangsta sign?

Edward and Lilly...another "awwww...get a room!!" picture...oh wait...we were in Edward's room...oopss...

We had lots of food, but don't worry...all were gone by the next morning (too bad..can't say that about all the dirty dishes..) Whoa!! :)

Last picture...May be Bonnie was wondering if she should have had a slice of cake...

Hope you enjoyed it!!!!!!!! It was fun. Happy B-day again Van!!!!!
