Uncle Dedo & Aunt Holly took us to BoBo Restaurant to eat.  Yes!  There is a restaurant named after me as Aunt Ellie discovered over a year ago (see my 1/2010 blog entry):

Look closely at the menu and you’ll see that there is a “bobo burger” and also a ” coco burger.”

It’s almost as if the restaurant is meant for me and my BFF.  BoBo burger is on the left and CoCo burger is on the right.

Why was this restaurant named “Bobo”?  Mommy was hoping there was an exotic story or person behind the name.  So, we asked a waitress and found out it stands for “bohemian bourgeois.”  Not all that interesting after all.

NYC Trip Part 1: Two Birthdays!

We went to NYC again this past weekend, but this time, we went to celebrate the birthdays of Aunt Ellie (4/16) and Aunt Holly (4/17).  We drove up at 5 AM on 4/16 and then came home at midnight on 4/17.  For only staying less than 48 hours, we got a lot of things done, but it was exhausting.

This time, we stayed with Aunt Ellie because she was having Grimaldi’s pizza party the night of her birthday and Mommy was hoping to partake in the party once I had fallen asleep.  Too bad, I didn’t give her the luxury.  I was too excited over all the people and conversations going out outside of Aunt Ellie’s bedroom. 

Aunt Ellie made two cakes for the birthday celebration:  one for herself and one for Aunt Holly.  You can see for yourself how awesome these two cakes were.  One was devil’s food cake with chocolate ganache and the other was a yellow cake with yuzu buttercream.  I happened to love the devils food cake and Mommy is going to “borrow” Aunt Ellie’s recipe to my birthday cupcakes.

We gave Aunt Ellie framed Montse Buxo paper.  Aunt Ellie bought the papers from Spain on her recent trip and Mommy got them framed.  See us posing next to the framed photo.

We gave Aunt Holly a framed collage of our Thomas Jefferson Pi Miler.

Happy (20-something) birthday to my two favorite aunts!
