Uncle Matt

These are some pics from when Uncle Matt was here. The first one is me, Maddi, and Uncle Matt. The second one was at one of the restaurants we took him to. We call it the "The Purple Hat Place" because they all wear purple hats. We don't know what the real name is though. :P


We've also took him to Coco's, which is a really yummy curry restaurant, then we brought him to the house and had lunch.

Mother and Daughter Banquet


This is the Mother and Daughter Banquet we wet to with our church. I didn't get a chance to get a picture of me, my mom, and my sister, but these are some other pictures. It was at Macaroni Grill...which was really good!!

They just kept coming with food....it seemed like it would never end!! Hahahah!! They served bread, pasta, chicken, eggplant, calamari, asparagus, and for desert they served cheesecake and chocolate cake....it was delicious, and we had so much fun!! It was great music and a great message that the pastor's wife gave.
