Ok, this is what happens when one of your parents celebrate his birthday according to the lunar calendar---you miss his birthday every year unless your mom reminds you weeks in advance that the big day is coming. Well, it happened again this year. The 3Ds once again let Gon Gon's birthday pass oblivious to the fact that this year, his big day fell on January 4th. So we had a belated celebration at our house complete with an Italian feast. Yes, an Italian feast because Gon Gon eats home-cooked Chinese every day and he loves a good western meal whenever the opportunity arises. Gi and I made a red velvet cake. Gon Gon never passes up a sweet dessert...very atypical for an elderly Chinese man. Gi elbowed her way to the front of the cake when it came time for the birthday medley and strong-armed Gon Gon into letting her blow out the candle. We ended the evening with a full belly and a quiet satisfaction that we helped Gon Gon ring in his 74th year of life. Happy birthday, Gon Gon!

Not only that, the birthdate is 12/4 on the lunar calendar which is different from the birthdate on his driver's license, which is 10/4!
Gigi is too funny! I love your Dad. Nothing wrong with loving some good italian food and lots of desserts! That's my kind of meal! Why not just celebrate the birthday on his driver's license. That would be easier to remember.
