Dim Sum with Dublin

Today we had a busy Sunday – first, Sophia and Daddy went to a cooking class organized by the Dumbo Parents Group. After cooking class, we went to Chinatown Brasserie for dim sum to celebrate Dublin’s first birthday. As we walked down the stairs, both Sophia and you were intrigued by all of the koi fish.

I work with Dublin’s parents, David and Carley, who also live in our neighborhood so we see them often. Nice family shot!

Several times we thought you might go swimming with the fish!

While the moms and dads enjoyed cocktails, the kids enjoyed face painting by Christine. Dublin’s grandpa also wrote people’s name in Chinese calligraphy on red paper.

Sophia was so excited to have her face and hands painted – she had pink flowers painted on her face as well as the Chinese characters for love on her hand.

While Sophia had her face painted, you played tag with the magician Max.

After the kids finished eating, the magician Max performed his magic show. Unfortunately we had to leave early for the Family Concert at Sophia's school. What a fun birthday party!
