Hawaii, here we come!

It’s time for our annual trip to Oahu, Hawaii! We got up early this morning and waited for the bus in the dark. Luckily the kids were wearing their light-up bracelets and waving them around because that was the only way the bus driver even noticed us. It almost didn’t stop for us!!!

On the plane, the kids did a great job. Janie started her homework packet and then they both watched videos and played games on their iPads.

Janie learned how to write her name in cursive too!

Our flight was on time and we caught an Uber to the hotel. The room was ready at 3pm and we finally got to bring our stuff upstairs.

This year, we are at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and got a room at the Rainbow Tower with a sweet view from our lanai!

After settling in and changing into swimsuits, we found the Tsaos at the hotel ice cream shop!

We spent the rest of the day in the Super Pool and then went out for ramen.

What a great way to start our week-long vacation!!

Thanksgiving 2019

It’s Thanksgiving! Janie made this cool art project at AIK last week. It was perfect for today.

In the morning, the kids sorted cranberries, Janie cut up the apple, and then helped make the cranberry sauce/relish.

She also helped with peeling the carrots and making the gravy with Dada.

Uncle Victor and Auntie Susie came over with Parker and Lil Boom for dinner. Peanut was a little hesitant around his new friend Parker but then warmed up to him quickly.

He helped feed him some puree and then built block towers for him to knock down.

Janie also got some snuggle time with Lil Boom.

We had another fun and tasty Thanksgiving and happy to have part of our SF family back in our home for this holiday.

Day with Jasper

It’s Veteran’s Day and with Mama at work and no school, Janie was invited to Jasper’s house for the whole day again. When she arrived, there was an agenda and then they were off!

They went to the playground again (across the street from his house).

They did some coding on their iPads.

After lunch, they made chocolate chip cookies and then went outside again while they cooled.

 

It looks like they had a lot of fun again!

Slumber Party!

Uncle Jason and Auntie Jia drove up today and the kids had so much fun eating dinner and dessert together.

Then it was a cousin slumber party in their bedroom.

They played Octonauts and then a game of Zingo.

Then they gathered around for stories. Janie did a great job reading to them.

It took them a while to settle down and fall asleep but overall they all did well.
