David Beckham's Sister Joanne's Birthday in London Pictures

It was a Beckham family celebration in London last night! David and Victoria got together to surprise David's sister Joanne for her 30th birthday, which doesn't actually take place until February. David wanted to make sure he didn't miss the milestone when his schedule ramps up in 2012, so the group marked the occasion early by gathering at Joanne's favorite Japanese restaurant, Roka. Their oldest sister, Lynne, came along for the event, and the whole group posed for pictures at the end of the night. David was without his siblings, though, when he was spotted eating out at a pie and mash restaurant earlier this week.

David and Victoria have been in the UK since early December, and they celebrated Christmas together at their home with their four kids. It was baby Harper's first holiday after her July birth, which was one of the biggest Beckham moments of the year along with David's MLS Cup win with the Galaxy. His soccer career will soon take him to Paris since his deal with the Saint-Germain club is apparently almost set.
