Mom Jinbo’s 70th
Mom Jinbo’s 70th birthday was on November 10th. The rest of the family have been planning a surprise party for her and we actually pulled it off without a hitch. :) Can’t believe that the girls didn’t spill the beans… so proud of them!
She knew that we were planning a small party for her, but she thought that it was going to be next week. To get her to the restaurant for the surprise party, dad told her that Raymond (the owner) had invited them to dinner to taste the food and set a menu.
When she arrived, the expression on her face was priceless. She was truly surprised.
The second surprise was revealed shortly after mom arrived. Dad flew Aunty Mary (mom’s former principal and good friend from when she taught in California) down for the party and she stood in line to give mom a lei. When mom realized it was Aunty Mary… another priceless moment!
Needless to say, the party was a success… mom was surprised, surrounded by 90+ or her friends and family, and the food was oh so ono.
HAPPY 70th Mom!!!
