Boys Birthday Weekend Happenings!

First, let me say....  Hong Kong does NOT normally have colorful sunsets... 
In fact, I had resigned to the fact that I would just have to love Hong Kong for the other. many beauties it has to offer...  Apparently though, as the cosmos aligns just right, for a short period of time during the year, Hong Kong's skies fill with  a brilliant array of color!
You appreciate it so much more, when each day is usually gray!
These pictures don't do it justice, just a phone pic through the window.


I love the way the colors of the sky reflect off the sea...

Birthday Weekend gift from above for sure!

This is the favorite spot of EVERY human and creature in the house. 

 No joke.  Rarely is there not a creature (or human) sitting by this window.


Back to Birthday Weekend!

Friday Night, we met a friend of mine (from a Canto class I took), Jessica and her hubby Stuart, to see a performance downtown.
Borrowed this pic from her FB page.  Aren't they cute?  They are newlyweds.

The performance:




It was at the Hong Kong Performing Art's Center...
I did say Hong Kong makes up for the lack of colorful sunsets in other ways, right?
Seriously, everywhere you go, you look out the window to find a little magic waiting for you...



While the play wasn't QUITE what we had hoped, as in the script was SO awful, the acting was uhm... not great, but the sets and singing was amazing!  We had a fun time!

On Saturday, Krystin had a special event she has been working on for MONTHS that Todd and I were to attend, so we had a special lunch with Logan before hand.

I can't get this pic to stay flipped.  Just read the warning!

It was the American Restaurant downtown!  
Good food, and they aren't joking about portion sizes!

In Hong Kong you can drink at 18, so in honor of the occasion...
Logan got a VERY strong glass of Apple Juice on the Rocks.
He said it was delightful and refreshing. 

My sweet men.

Awwww...  Boy birthday love. 

Sunday morning, I made cinnamon rolls (no not from scratch), but out here finding ANY, even packages of cinnamon rolls is a challenge.


 We were up really late the night before, and were pretty exhausted in the morning...

We did have a guest appearance at church. 

Random shot from the road...

For dinner...  We went to a local Indian Place.
In the states, we always, ALWAYS go to Mexican for Birthdays.
New country, new traditions.
Seriously though, authentic Indian food, YUM!
They even have a service to pick you up from your flat and drop you off (no charge). 


Even Miss Kay LOVES it!


Happy Birthday Logan and Todd!
Love you both!




Another phone pic.  Doesn't come close to how magnificent the color truly was, but you get an idea.
This is just outside our flat...  Love living on Lantau Island!
 

It was a fun weekend!
