Family- Dad’s Birthday Dinner

We usually don’t go out to dinner for anyone’s birthday because of the crowds, but this year it just seemed the best choice since my mom works the weekends sometimes. My youngest brother Edgar actually arranged it and even picked the place and drove us there – SUPER NICE! We started early since we had to pick-up Eric at UCLA and then headed to Redondo Beach to Ortega 21 for dinner. It was good food and service, great art work was displayed and they even played old black & white Mexican films.

I just had to post these pictures because well, for once we actually took pictures and they turned out pretty good.

I love how well dad and Edgar coordinated and dad needs a haircut, like now.

I am so proud of my brothers, they are both in college and working hard for their future. Edgar working for Chase and Eric an intern for congress woman Lucille Roybal-Allard, I couldn’t be happier for them.
