This morning Grandma, Gianna, and I went to breakfast, while Papa and Grandpa went to Costco to pick up Gigi's birthday cake.

Here's Gianna enjoying some milk from her sippy cup. Now that she is officially one year old, she no longer gets to use a bottle. Bye bye Dr. Brown!

Here's Gianna in her birthday outfit from Anma Bernice. She sent this beautiful Chinese outfit from Taipei. We all went to a dim sum luncheon to celebrate Gigi's first birthday.

Uncle Bruce took the following pictures at the party. Thank you!

Mama and Gigi :)

Here we are with Auntie Mirella, the perfect party planner and hostess. She helped get everything ready.

Auntie Diana and Emily. Emily is just as pretty as her momma!

Here's Emily trying to eat with chopsticks!

Gigi left the use of chopsticks to Mama. :)

Here's the Monoscalcos with the Vierneses. Uncle Mark was so dressed up! :)

Here's Gigi in the birthday bib from Uncle Mark and Auntie Mirella. So cute!

Gigi is busy eating, while Grandma talks story with the other guests.

Here's Papa, Mama, and Gianna. What a happy family!

Here's the cake! It's chocolate!

It's time to sing "Happy Birthday!"

Gigi didn't quite understand how to blow out the candles.

The party was too much excitement for Gianna. She fell asleep before it ended.
