Mustache 30th Birthday - George Hoang

Hi There!!!

Today I want to share with you what my family and I did for one of my brothers, George Hoang who turned the big-fat-3-0 on Sunday, May 25th. We decided to throw him a surprised birthday party, BUT it actually ended up being a surprised for everyone! So what happened is that, we first planned to celebrate his birthday at his place, making him buy the pizzas (kekeke) with a few of us being able to make it while others prepping for his birthday. He was happy, but keke we tired to disappoint him in some ways too by also not making it a big deal...as if it is just another day. Our plan worked....

Our plan was to have him drop off one of his son for us to babysit at one of our sisters, Michelle's house later that day. Well, what my family didn't know is that, one of our sisters, Lien and her daughters who weren't supposed to make it....well, THEY DID!!! And boy oh boy was everyone surprised....ONE-BY-ONE, even the birthday boy and his family were surprised!!!

....and once again, the Hoangs unite! hehe Having a big family is super-duper hard for us to get together and when we do, we're very grateful and of course picture time!!!!

Here's what we did for his 30th birthday, the theme was a Mustache theme with some fun decoration....

Scalloped Tag Topper Box Filled with Cookies

Hello There!

Lisa, a super-duper good friend of mine is moving to Los Angeles with her fiancĂ©, Johnny Duong (JD) soon....Sad to see them "leave" (until we meet again hehe)...I can't just call Lisa up anymore and be like, let's go eat!!! But I am super excited for them to know where they want to be and start planning their future. So I'm happy that's what they wanted, but I will sure miss them. I didn't know what to do for them...but I thought maybe they'll like some home made cookies...;)

So I baked this wonderful yummie delicious Chocolate Chip with Rice Crispy cookies for them. It's really my all time favorite cookies. And hehe I can't just bake the cookies and not package them..So I made these cute little somewhat milk carton boxes =) I thought it'll be cute for them to "share" them with whoever they want to. The big white box is for them to keep ;) Filled up all the way up with cookies.


  
I hope you like them, Lisa & JD!!! I'll super-duper miss you guys sooooo sooo much!
