Grandma-ma's BIG 100!!!

That's right folks! My grandma turned 100 on October 25th and Drew & I were lucky enough to be there along with about 100 other family members to celebrate it with her! :)

Here's where the 100 family members comes from:
My grandma had 9 kids.
Those 9 kids produced at least 26 grandkids altogether (I'm not too sure b/c there a few aunts & uncles that I've never met who have passed).
And out of those 26 grandkids are a bunch of great grandkids that are just way too many for me to sit here & count.

The cake candles say 101 because in Chinese, you're already a year old the day you're born.

For her birthday, the whole family went to a Chinese restaurant where she got to eat one of her favorite foods: crab.

Drew also got to eat some of his favorites as well. Heh heh heh.

Yeah, that's a chicken head.

No, he didn't really eat it.

For being 100, she's still quite spritely at times. Her memory's still pretty good for her age, though it's been so long since she's seen me that she's forgotten who I am already! But she remembers relatives in Houston whom she sees more often. At least she knows I'm a family member somehow though. I came to this conclusion when I was standing next to Drew and she asked, "Who's that guy?" - but she never asked who I was.

Here's my grandma, clapping along while we all sang happy birthday to her.

She's so cute!

My uncle (who I think looks a little like Jackie Chan) always helps her blow out the candles.

And my cousin Danny cut the cake b/c it was also his birthday, but it always gets overshadowed by my grandma's. So this year, we sang happy birthday twice. :)

LOL That blog made me laugh/smile so much. And it definitely made me wish I was there! :)
Did you guys take pictures again in accordance to your animal years? ;)
Grandma's pix with her clapping are so cute, Che!

And I always thought Uncle #4 looked like Jackie Chan too.
And I never knew Danny's birthday was the same as grandma's... Did he dye his hair to make himself look younger? lol (: Ah! I hope you have more photos so I can see them during Xmas. :)


Love, Shell
