We get together at least once or twice a month to throw a party for any reason imaginable. But this past weekend was a special birthday party for my great aunt. Mama Leah celebrated her sweet sixty with her closest family and friends at El Dorado Park in Long Beach.

The food was catered by The Park’s Finest ,which is owned and operated by Mama Leah’s son, John, and some of his good friends (if you’re looking to have some awesome bbq at your next party, be sure to hit him up! contact me for his info!).

And with all this delicious food and fun times with all the people, I just had to bring out my camera to capture everything!

My cousin, Andrew, decided to peel his mango like a banana. We called it a Bango!
