Ali's Birthday

And just like, I'll be going home for Christmas in 2 weeks. In fact, exactly 2 weeks from this very moment, I'll be on a plane heading to Tokyo, and will just be a hop and a skip through Dallas away from landing in Omaha for the most epic Sybesma family reunion of all time! :)

Last weekend was Ali's birthday, and we celebrated in style. I'll let the pictures do the talking.












Firday night, I took Ali to a French restaurant with 7 courses! This was course #6: AMAZING steak! Almost as good as steak from Iowa. :)












The restaurant was called Chez Simon, and was up a little staircase down a little alleyway in an amazing part of Seoul. Great atmosphere, great food, great company! :)














Then Saturday, we roamed the streets of Seoul with Taylor, had coffee from one of the one hundred top espresso machines in the world (the pope has one!0, and then had an afternoon beer.











Saturday evening, we met up with friends at a little Spanish restaurant called Pakito.















Birthday cupcake with crooked candles!














The wine and beer was a flowin'.











Then we went bowling and drank white russians! (Which we brought ourselves.)












Go girls team! Me, Sarah Jane, Mary Soo, and...Olivia! (Olivia is really Oliver, but he very graciously played with the girls to even things out...)











Boys team! Ali, Taylor, Reuben (with a seriously gross mustache for his soccer game the next day), Ross, and...Olivia! I mean Oliver.



Welcome to your 26th year, Ali!!!

Am I to assume by your lack of telling that the boys' team won at bowling? Love, Mom
