On Tuesday, we celebrated my daughter-in-law Melissa's birthday. We all went out to the Chinese Buffet, which was awesome! It has many, many tables, including a dessert one, and a grill where you can choose your seafood or beef and they will grill whatever kind of dish you want right at the bar. What did I get? Pizza, egg drop soup, and fried donut puffs. Go ahead and laugh. The others pigged out on oysters, crab, and shrimp. My header is the ceiling of the restaraunt. And here you see our son and daughter-in-law, then Phil and I with our granddaughter. On the way out, Anne Marie is giving you a little tour. They have a bridge with water wheel, and a coy pond. Back at home, little Anne loved helping pull the presents out of the bag. She loves scented lotions and soaps, and the smells tickled her nose.
"Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts are rivers of light cascading down from the Father Of Light. There is noting deceitful in God, nothing two-faced, nothing fickle. He brought us to life using the true Word, showing us off as the crown of all his creatures." The Message-James 1:17,18

Happy family time is such a special event.Thanks for sharing this .
HI Gin, I'm sorry but I am laughing my head off... PIZZA at a fabulous Chinese Buffet??????? Oh My GOODNESS... You are a 'case'!!!!! That looks like a fabulous place. We love Chinese buffets --but we don't have one THAT fancy here... Love it..
Looks like your DIL had a fabulous birthday.. Anne Marie is getting prettier every day.. What a CUTIE..
Hugs,
Betsy
My thoughts were like Betsy's - they actually serve pizza at a Chinese buffet? I shouldn't be surprised - I was once at one Chinese buffet that served hot-dogs for the kids who wouldn't eat the Chinese! Glad you had such a fun time. A Happy Birthday to your daughter-in-law! Glad you had fabulous family fun!
I remember when I worked at those Chinese restaurants..they had special stuff on the menu (American Food) (lol..well, I'd worry about who certain foods would come out here cause I love pizza. If my husband's unsure he'll order chicken! I'm pretty picky. I went to a Japanese rest. and ordered shrimp with a cream sause..my luck- it happened to be bad! You know I barely got down the stairs and husband had to help me in the car. I climbed into bed while the whole room spun around like I belted down a fifth of whiskey? I thought the medication I was on made me sick but I held everything down till morning..and found it was the shrimp!! I'm glad you had a good time and you enjoyed your meal..these photos are sweet..(wish her a happy virtual birthday)
Hi G. I love Chinese buffets. I become a total oinker. I like the yummy sesame rolls.
I'm like Betsy, I had to laugh when I saw you had pizza at a Chinese restaurant. But on the other hand it does sound good.
Looks like everyone had a great time!
Pizza?!!!!! Was it Chinese pizza? Oh well, the most important thing seems to have been accomplished--having fun!!
Best,
Bonnie

Hi Ginny, We too, went to a Chinese buffet yesterday! I had a lot of "No-no" fried yummy food. It was a rare treat for me. Your pictures are so wonderful and festive! Have a super good day.
You do so many fun family things. My life? Not so much. Can't get anybody interested. Oh well. At least I am. Glad you had such a fun time!
You have a wonderful family and I love reading your posts. I am especially blessed at the way you always top it off with a verse from the Bible, God's Word, and how it is so "on target" to the subject you are writing about. Your Anne is a beautiful child and must bring mountains of joy into all of your lives.
spectacular shot of the ceiling in the header. i see happy happy happy happy and happy in all the photos. what a great way to spend her birthday. love all the bright colors to. i would have been eating off your plate, i am not a fan of asian food, so bring on the pizza and donuts.
Love the header shot! Family fun is the BEST!
That was a nice birthday party! I love Chinese food! I don't think I would get Pizza but what a good idea. My daughter would go there because she does not like Chinese food. It gives her a headache.
I also liked your "ashes" post. Beautiful pictures.
xxoo

Ginny, I LOVE the fried donut thingy's...they are my favorite and I have to steer clear or I will eat too many of them!
I am so glad you were able to spend time with loved ones...AnneMarie is just too precious :) I love her smile and can only imagine her giggle in my mind.
Have a great day! We're going out to eat tonight for dinner; guess where? Chinese!!!
I won't tell you what I would have had at that buffet, but it wouldn't have been pizza!
Anne Marie is as cute as ever and it looks as if everyone had a wonderful time.
It looks like everyone enjoyed the party. One day tou'll have to explain the pizza, but I'll give you a pass for today :-). Have a great weekend. Blessings...Mary
What a great family fun celebration.
That looks like a great restaurant. What you ordered sounds pretty good to me. I love all your pictures of Anne Marie. Seeing her infectious smile just makes you feel all warm inside :)
Looks like you had a nice time and I love fried donuts too.
Happy birthday to your DIL.
And I wondered what in the world that picture was in your header - it was pretty but I couldn't decide. The ceiling!
Love,
sandie
You son looks so much like Phil. I too would LOL when you eat pizza in a Chinese buffet.
