On Saturday, March 17, we hosted a surprise birthday party for Grandma (Ramy's mom) at our house. Ramy's sister Myrna originally suggested the idea in January, and we had been planning it since then. The funniest part of it was that we actually had all the family over for dinner a week beforehand to finalize all the details, and Grandma was there. Rebecca kept her distracted, and she is hard of hearing anyway, so she was none the wiser. We invited relatives of Grandma's and served mostly Filipino food (no fear - there was macaroni and cheese for those of us who aren't fans of Filipino delicacies. By the way, if there is ever a room full of a Filipinos and a dish of fish, don't get in their way). The only downside was that it was pouring down rain on the day of the party, so everyone got a bit wet coming in and we weren't able to mingle in the yard at all. Otherwise though, everything went off beautifully! Grandma was surprised and seemed to enjoy the day with people she loves. Everyone enjoyed the food. A good time was had by all.
