Dinner at the China Light Cafe
Saturday, June 28th, 2008

The weekend of June 27th - June 29th, Brian's sister Rebekah, her husband Jim, their kids, and also Jim's parents were in town for a family reunion. Naturally we wanted to get together with them, so we all decided to go out to eat together at the famous Chine Light Cafe up in American Fork. The food is well worth the drive! Above are Jim and Rebekah and their kids, as well as Jared, enjoying their meal.

Jim's parents and Mom and Dad Higginson decided to sit together. Jim's father can make anyone laugh, and his mother is GORGEOUS, not to mention the nicest lady you'll ever meet! Jim inherited his father's sense of humor and his mother's good looks and kindness.

Brian, Vaughn, Julie, Robert and I all ate together. It was really funny to try to divide the food up between us all. For some reason, Brian kept thinking that it wasn't being divided fairly, and was making a fuss. At one point, Robert imitated Brian and it was so funny even Brian laughed at it! I told you, the food is really good. I think they "put an addictive chemical in it that makes you crave it fort-nightly!" (That quote was for Laura!) It's no wonder Brian was so worried about getting his share. But we wound up having a really fun time and eventually everyone got enough to eat!

Here's me and Brian looking very tired! It's no wonder since little Dean had only been born two weeks earlier. I'll also mention that he was really struggling digesting things, so he barely slept at all! He kept a schedule of literally being up every hour on the hour. I don't know how he or we managed to survive! You can see how exhausted we were!

Vaughn was more interested in playing with the ice cubes in his cup that eating, as is evidenced by the giant water stain on his shorts. He did however, pause to sort of smile for the camera, but got distracted by Aunt Julie...

...Aunt Julie was trying to make the same face Vaughn was, and seeing the two of them was quite a sight! I'm surprised we were able to keep the food from shooting out of our mouths because we were laughing so hard! And by the way, doesn't that food look so delicious?!?

And in keeping with tradition, I have to take a picture of the scary dragon with light bulbs for eyes. I'll also mention that the plastic has never been taken off of this dragon. It keeps the dust off, but makes it look so tacky! But that is what we love about this place!

Thanks Jim and Bek and kids, and Jim's parents for a really fun outing! We love you!

Love, Lisa
