Lils prepared fondue for us!!!  Ever since my cook left, we have not had fondue in a long time and so we were happy to be having fondue prepared by Lills

Happy Birthday Ria

Happy Birthday to our niece Ria!  I met Ria 27 years ago, she was only 3 years old and she had come back from living in San Francisco.  She was so cute and I remember she even had an American accent as she lived in Chicago and San Francisco 🙂

I love my family!!!  We find every reason to celebrate and get together!  That’s why we never run out of reasons to be happy and to become closer to each other!! 🙂  We celebrated the Holy Mass as always and we had a short program before dinner.  The birthday celebrant, Mio, played the drums – listen to all his fans ( his cousins! ) cheer for him
