Gatherings; if only little kids would stay in one spot

In the Vietnamese culture..or either if you are Buddhist there comes a time that if a family member passed a way, then we would have a memorial for them, like a little family gathering. So today came the day of my dad's mom's day, the day that she had passed away. We had a little gathering..and when I mean little I mean...WOW. It was a lot of people, a lot of people that I did not want to come (not to be mean, but I hate having family gatherings...with their little precious kids over). I had to woke up kinda early, help clean the house, set everything up, help cook the food, help take care of my sister..help help help help help. Yep that was the first beginning. But it was nice, since my friend Amy and Victor came over to help out..mostly Amy helped though. hahaha, but it was nice of them to have came early like that. So I got bored, and me and Amy made cupcakes. And I was venting to her about all the little things I was getting worked up on. So as people started to arrived..I wanted to kill myself even more. Little kids running around everything, taking things that don't belong to them, yelling and screaming for no reason, go into my room and spill soda :(, take my candy without asking and well, just being kids...and I forgot to mention, they were all boys :/ 2 years old and up to 15 year old :/ What I had tried to do was take as much pictures of I can..of the food. hahaha, and I wanted to share them with you, enough with my long story.


That was the cooler thingy, with the soda for the kids and some adults; since some would rather prefer to drink beer, and that is why there is half and half.


Talking about the cupcakes, me and my friend Amy made..here is a picture..(might not be a good picture, but it was the best out of all the cupcake pictures)


This is one of the deserts that I had to make...just some simple Asian fruits with Asian jell-o that my mom had add food coloring in to make it blue and green with half and half:


One of the main dishes that my mom made, was Bánh xèo. It is a crepe-like stuffed with meat, shrimp and bean sprouts.


And another main dish was spring rolls...there were many option to choose from, from beef to shrimp and many others, and this is what my mom made for me. haha (Although all you can see is the lettuce)


One of my mom's friend had made some orange sticky rice and bought it over:


My aunt had made Asian jell-o also, but she made them with these nice shape thingys..so this was the one that I didnt get to take a picture of before and got eaten..


....and this was the one that I got to take a picture of


So yeah, way more stuff, and people, but I only had time to take those pictures :/ maybe next time I will take more. :D haha..
still mad about the soda spill in my room :(
