Hanna's Birthday Tea Party

Earlier this week, my girlfriends and I got together to celebrate our dearest Hanna's 24th birthday. It was an early birthday celebration because she would not be here on her actual birthday. Last year Hanna took all the girls down to San Diego and we had the cutest picnic and then watched The Screwtape Letter play at the Balboa Theater. This year, she invited us to an intimate brunch at her house. Everything from the food, drinks, set-up, decorations were amazing!!! Hanna's mom is gifted with cooking, and Hanna is gifted with creativity, so they make the perfect duo when inviting people over. I wish it was her birthday everyday, so we can celebrate with style like this!

Hanna's house is already  fancy, but she definitely went over and beyond for this cute table set-up!
This was our menu that Hanna had printed for us. I honestly didn't even have a chance to read it until now because I was so absorbed with everything else that morning!
We had a 4 course meal! If I had to pick a favorite, it had to be the creme brulee w/ berries! YUM!!!
 
Our drinks consisted of mimosas (my new favorite drink), and our personal choice of tea. 
 
After brunch, we spent the majority of our day in front of this cozy fire playing different games! It worked out perfectly because the whole day was drenched with rain outside. Yuck... 
Hanna's birthday was the perfect way for us girls to spend some quality time with each other before we all head to back to our reality world. We all shared an overflowing amount of food and laughter, so that pretty much summed up an unforgettable day. Although Hanna left yesterday, I miss her already! Who knows when all four of us will get together again like this...

Family Portrait


This is it, my first official family portrait! My brother and dad were not thrilled about going to a studio, and it was absolutely hilarious as the photographer "attempted" to get both of them feeling comfortable in front of the camera. Haha, I didn't even think we would get a decent picture! But after seeing the final results, I am completely satisfied. Props to the photographer at Yuen-Liu Studio for creating such a wonderful family portrait for us!

Song of the Night

I am obsessed with this song. Every time I hear it on the radio, it gives me tingles down my spine and I am not ashamed to turn it up! Hope you all enjoy it as well.
