Watch us grow!
On our last evening in Cerritos, we went out for Korean BBQ with Ankong and Ama. The wait for our table took so long that the kids needed a snack. Conveniently, 85 degrees is right next door so they each got a little something to keep them happy.
At dinner, Janie helped Ankong with the cooking while Peanut ate in the corner of the booth with his construction trucks.
We went to Toni and Thomas’ house for Christmas Day. The kids all got to play with each other while Dada and Uncle Jason prepared the standing rib roast.
Of course there were lots of presents to open that day. Some were opened in the morning and some were opened in the evening.
We love having everyone together again.
Merry Christmas!!
For dinner, we went to Toni and Thomas’ house. It was so fun to see the kids back together again.
After dinner, the kids decorated cookie. Some needed help with the icing but they loved putting the candies on their ugly sweater cookies.
What they enjoyed more was eating the cookies!!!
For lunch, we went to Uncle Dayantha’s house to hang out with Mama and Dada’s old friends from high school. We also brought Alice and Leela to the party.
We had a gift exchange where the kids gave a gift to one friend each.
Auntie Holly also brought a treasure box for the kids to pick what they wanted.
The kids made a big mess but had a great time. Auntie Krissy even brought out crafts for the kids to do together. So fun!! Thanks to Uncle Dayantha, Auntie Krissy, and Oliver for hosting!!!
The kids woke up this morning and were ready to play.
Uncle Johnny brought over Alice and Leela when they woke up and the kids continued their morning in their pajamas.
Peanut stayed home with Daddy today. It was Pajama Day at Janie’s school and I guess he had a Pajama Morning at breakfast. They went out out to Jim’s by the Course and had quite a feast.
After breakfast, they hung out in bed until lunch time.
It’s nice to see that he changed into regular clothes for his lunch outing.
This evening, we met up with Auntie Yoon for a sushi dinner and then a ride on the Christmas Trolley.
They dressed up for the occasion and were ready for a ride around downtown to see all the lights.
Peanut got a seat right up front with the driver and had fun singing and dancing to the music they played during the ride.
For breakfast, we went to Koko Head Cafe and the kids had some really cute dishes.
Janie also got a photo with Top Chef Runner Up but one of Mama’s all-time favorites, Lee Anne Wong.
This afternoon, we headed back to the beach for some more time in the ocean and sand.
There was lots of floating around today!
After the beach, the kids had an ice cream cone.
Then we went to Edge Bar to watch the sun go down.
What a fun day!
After lunch at Giovanni’s shrimp truck, we stopped at Matsumoto Shave Ice. Yummy!
On the drive back to the hotel, the kids got a good car nap.
