It felt like we went away to a Caribbean island for Cyn's Birthday this year — but really we were at Habana Alma de Cuba in the West Village. It was so nice being surrounded with the warmth of close friends and good food (altho it was freezing cold outside!) You can never really go wrong with that combination. Paul ended the night with a serenade on his guitar to Cyn. Cyn had tears in her eyes — it was so sweet. Then Cyn and Paul sang a few songs together as well. It was a birthday treat for all of us! Poor Keila had a bit of a fever, so she wasn't her usual social self — but she still was able to put on a brave face. Kai, as usual, was Mr. Social Butterfly.
Cyn's Birthday with close friends.
Private room in Havana Alma de Cuba in the West Village. Great food! Felt like we were on vacation.
Ninangs Kyong and Eug dressed up Kai. Blowing out 25 layer crepe cake – our Bday
tradition!
Keila such a trouper even though she was a little sick. Beautiful Ninangs Shar and Anne.
Paul sweetly serenaded Cyn on his guitar. Cyn with tears in her eyes.
Happy Birthday, to the best sister and Ma'm (Kai's new petname for Mama)
in the world — our CYNCHA.
