We had our annual Christmas get-together with Mama’s cousins and their kids. This year we made arrangements to buy $10 gift cards and each kid got to choose two.
Family Thai Feast
We had dinner with Mama’s cousins and kids this evening and Janie was so happy to see Alice. They just returned from Las Vegas and it was their first time seeing each other this trip.
She also played Spot It with Brandon while they waited for the food to arrive.
Then it was a gift bonanza!!
We also managed to get a group photo of the whole family. Merry Christmas!!
Another Family Dinner
Every time we visit Cerritos, we gather up all of Mama’s cousins and we have a big Thai feast at Thai Nakorn. Tonight was our dinner and we had almost everyone there this time! Here is Peanut with Brandon, Cole, and Auntie Marie.
Theo and Sadie were also in town for the holidays this year so we had an extra-large group! So fun!
Here’s Peanut with Uncle Pish.
There were lots of presents after dinner and Peanut watched his big sister open his gifts. Oooo! New PJs!!
Janie scored her very first board game – Chutes and Ladders!! One of Mama’s favorites!
When we got back to Buena Park, Dada showed her how to play.
Lego Heaven!
Janie went to Auntie Joy’s Baby Shower (for Cousin Alice) today. Uncle Johnny had a friend set-up a bunch of Legos and Janie had an endless amount of Duplos to play with. It was also fun hanging out with her 2nd Cousins Theo, Sadie, Katie, and Kyle.
She also tried out regular Legos and did a fine job at getting the tinier version of her favorite square blocks together.
She tried to play with the big boys and managed to get all the pieces she wanted.
Later that day, Uncle Johnny gave her 10 square pieces to take home with her out of his stash. Janie and Cousin Alice will have so much fun together. Can’t wait!!
Trip to San Jose
Today we made an impromptu drive down to San Jose to visit Janie’s family. Her 2nd cousins, Katie and Kyle, were visiting from Orange County! Also, thanks to Uncle Johnny and Auntie Joy for the shorts. They were perfect for this warm day in the South Bay.
