It was 27 years ago when we were first year highschool and I first met Eds.  We are best friends because we are alike in many ways – like we will never pose alone for the camera- so we are always together in a picture….We are both shy 🙂  So, This feature almost never came out because I had to convince her that Heart2Heart will not be complete without her special day!

Happy 40th Birthday to the nicest, the simplest, the kindest, friend of everyone, the best real estate broker in town – my bestfriend Eds! I love you and we will be BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!!  

and everyone else who loves Eds!

Happy Birthday to again another of my good, good and beautiful friends, Lils!!  Lils is the cousin of Jeanne ( Jeanne’s 40th birthday December 13, 2009 )  which explains why she is also blooming and getting prettier every year 🙂 Another 40 year old in the batch.  

We have been schoolmates since gradeschool and then groupmates since highschool and 20 plus years after we are still groupmates.  I love and enjoy her because I can be myself with her, she is very open and very comfortable talking about anything and anything straight and direct to the point and it is funny how direct and open she can be about the realities in life……..and that is what friendship is all about

We celebrated in one of their favorite restaurants, Je Suis Gourmand, and had a great time with the gang though we missed Yvonne and Pael

We all gathered up in Dad and Mom’s hotel room and we removed our shoes 🙂 and waited for New Year’s Eve

As usual, Mom prepared our New Year’s spread….

Cheese with truffles ( fromage aux truffes )

Fresh Japanese Strawberries

Macaroons

Mochi with different flavors of ice cream filling

PINO!!  I snuck this in the spread 🙂

I snuck this in also – what an interesting flavor – CAMEMBERT  flavor! YUM!! Though when I got there- it was already gone!!:-)

Our favorite Japanese snack, Javier snuck this in 🙂

Last year we celebrated the birthday of Grace ( Happy Birthday Grace December 8, 2008 )  and this year, it is Lauro’s turn.  Grace said that they take turns in celebrating 🙂  These two really amaze us – how they love and compliment each other all the time.  They are one of the few couples we know that really really show their love and affection for each other and they are so proud of each other.  We admire them for that.  

Happy Birthday to a good friend, a loving husband, a true gentleman ( as James would say ) and a smart investment banker….in fact, one of the the BEST investment bankers out there.  

Happy Birthday Lauro! Indeed you have been blessed and we are blessed to be your friends.
