Toby and Grase's Anniversary Weekend!

Well this past weekend we celebrated my brother and sister in law's 10th wedding anniversary. We had a dinner at our house for family and close friends. It was an Asian theme so with the help of Keri I was able to get awesome decorations. Karson put up the decorations and it looked great. We had it in our backyard under a borrowed gazebo. We had chinese food and my dad made a sushi shaped cake for them. Toby came dressed up like a kung fu master and little Sofia had on cute red outfit that fit perfectly with the them. Grandma Maria Elena made the outfit for her and it looked so cute. Besides family we had Jimmy, Kelly from moval and Kenny, Bernie and Gracie from Rosemead. We had warm sake on the table and fortune cookies galore! We ate and visited but the best part of the night was the gifts. First Jason gave him some "gag" gifts like a bunch of cheesy cd's like the "Batteries not Included" soundtrack and many more hilarious cd's. Jason also gave them a few t-shirts including a red Star Trek shirt and for those of you who are trekkies should know that all the red shirts would get killed in the series. Kenny got Grace a gift card to one of her favorite places-Macy's and he gave Toby something great too. Jason gave Grase an interesting gift. It was a jar of Jalapenos because Jason is known for eating all the jalapenos that are in the house. Well of course it did not have Jalapenos in it. It had some great gifts from a brand Grase LOVES. She was so happy. I gave Sofia my favorite doll-hollie hobby. Me and Karson bought Toby a Jar Jar Binks shirt, which he loved. We got Grase a wizard of oz address book and a glinda compact. My mom and dad bought them a brand new barbecue and also Grase got 2 15 minute massages gift certificates. Kenny and Jason brought out this guitar case and Toby was like no way but when he opened it it was a fake guitar made out of cardboard. It was soooo funny. Then Jason brought out his real gift. He did get him a guitar that Toby had wanted-it was awesome and Toby was in shock. The Kings got them a gift card to BJ's and Toby said "how did they know we loved BJ's?" Finally it came time for Toby and Grase to exchange gifts. First Grase brought out some gifts they bought Sofia. They bought her some shirts from that same brand Grase likes which Toby seems to hate. Then Sofia got a big gift. A jumper! She is going to love that. Then Grase gave Toby a gift card to his favorite comic book store. Then Toby gave Grase her gift. It was an anniversary ring! It had 10 diamonds and it was beautiful! Grase cried of course. So then Grase surprised Toby by bringing out another huge gift. It was the electric drum set he wanted. He looked like he was going to faint. He literally got light headed and even laid on the drum box for a few minutes. He was so surprised. THEN Grase gave him his final gift-Disneyland Passes!!!! He was so happy. Then the other news we were going to Dland on Sunday. We had told him that we were going to go to the mountains so he brought his hiking boots and everything. It was so funny when he found out we were going to dland he said "I dug out my hiking boots for nothing!" Then we gave them our last gift. T-shirts that said "Sophia's first visit to Disneyland" and on the back it said mom on Grace's and Dad on Toby's. Then they pulled out the rest of the shirts for everyone else who was going-Uncle Jason, Uncle Karson, Aunt Dez, and Uncle Kenny. Quinton ended up going with us but he was not planning to so we did not make him a shirt. So the night was a complete success!

On Sunday we all woke up and got ready to go to dland. Everyone had their shirts on and were ready to go. They decided to come back for all the gifts after we went to dland. Since we all had passes we were not rushed to get on all the rides. We had a nice relaxing day. Of course we took Sofia on a few rides. She went on Buz lightyear and the Winnie the Pooh ride. She was so interested in all the lights that she was not afraid at all. Next time we will take her to fantasyland on all the kid rides. A new thing I learned about disneyland is that they have a baby care center. They have stalls for nursing babies, a big room full of changing stations, a kitchen to warm up milk, and you can buy diapers or other essential items there. I never knew it was there! Of course Karson directed Grase there. All in all we had a nice day at dland. We took pictures, Grase took more than me so check out her blog. Below find some pictures from this weekend. I can't wait to take Sofia back to Dland!!! Dez
