Charlie's 11th birthday ~ 7/31

It's almost Charlie's birthday and he gets his pick on what he wants for dinner. And he picked Italian!  It has been a while since we had "Western" food so I guess more than happy to have something "familiar" again. Ha ha!  As per usual, Charlie gets a fancy drink:
Graham gets a kid's meal.  The kids meals come in such cute plates:
We had some sort of beef with paradelle.  It was actually very yummy!
And dessert was quite delish too:
Graham was almost literally slurping up what was left in the bowl.  LOL!
We head back to the hotel room and open up a couple of presents.  Graham actually got one too, it's just a little expandable bag :-)
And we made a little tin for Charlie that has the drawing of his fishing lure.  Love this!
The next day, we move to the Airbnb that's next to the mall.  We were actually suppose to fly in from Kuala Lumpur into Kota Kinabalu today but because we pushed our schedule up, this was no longer the case. I was already hoping/planning that the crew would sing Happy Birthday to Charlie on the airplane.  Oh well, will have to plan for that some other time!

But in the meantime, Charlie is too occupied trying to figure out which boba drink he wants:
We ordered some fried noodles for him, but it's too spicy!
So looks like I'm getting his dish instead.

Family we-fie!
And of course, we had to have cake. I think he ate most of this all by himself!!
Back at the Airbnb, just hanging out :-)
Oh, Charlie somehow managed to lose his tooth!
After the tooth commotion, it is time to open his "main" present.  It's a Fitbit watch. Who is so spoiled:
Bobby and Graham both have this watch so I guess it was only fitting that Charlie gets one too.

My brother and wife was so sweet - they brought a birthday cake to the apartment for Charlie!
I think Charlie had a pretty good birthday!  He's definitely had a lot of cake because don't forget, he got an entire cake back in New Jersey too before leaving for Malaysia.  It's no wonder this kid has a sweet tooth!  And speaking of tooth, I think he finally figured out that I'm actually the Tooth Fairy.  LOL!
Charlie said that the ink of the pen is the same as the pen that he had just purchased. Ha!

We LOVE you lots, Charlie!! XOX
