Mama went back to Alameda to go to work but the kids and Dada stayed behind. Looks like they went for a walk in the morning and then had lunch with the cousins.
Auntie’s Classroom
The kids spent time at Auntie Jia’s house and did some coloring in the “classroom” at their house. 
They also went for a walk to the playground.
This is a fun recess!
Then it was lunchtime and Alice and Leela joined them.
Waterplay!
It was over 100 degrees today and perfect for using Uncle Johnny’s inflatable bouncehouse waterslide!
Combining Bubbles
Now that we are in Cerritos and everyone has been in “quarantine” for the past few months, we felt it was time to combine our “social bubbles”. Alice and Leela come over to Yai and Ta’s house everyday and we now we have added Toni and Thomas.
It’s so nice to be with the rest of the family again.
Outside Fun
This morning, Alice and Leela came over and the kids had a fun time in the backyard. They played in Ta’s pond and pretended to play Animal Crossing with the net and fishing poles that Ta made for them.
In the evening, we went to Uncle Johnny’s house. They had a jousting match on the balance beam and played in the bouncehouse.
Zoom Birthday
Janie turned 8 today and it was a very different birthday this year. We are in the heart of Shelter-in-Place here in California but still wanted to celebrate this special day.
Mama picked up party favors and gifts from Target on her way home, picked up cake from Baskin Robbins, and then had a virtual birthday party with the family over Zoom. Auntie Jia had sent a bunch of gifts this past week too.
Once everyone got online, we all sang Happy Birthday, she blew out candles, and then the presents were opened.
Toni and Thomas also drew a special birthday picture for her.
Happy 8th Birthday to our baby girl!
Short Trip
It was a short but productive weekend. See you all again soon!!!!
Cerritos
We drove down to Cerritos last night and the kids had a blast with their cousins while Mama and Dada went to see their tax guy.
We later went to Baskin-Robbins for an ice cream treat.
For dinner, we met up with Ankong and Ama.
Time to Say Goodbye
It’s time to say goodbye and drive back to Alameda today. The girls always have a hard time with this.
We had so much fun this past week and can’t wait to see everyone again!
We got home at a decent time and even saw some snow on the Grapevine!
Downtown Disney
We usually go to Disneyland for Christmas Eve but agreed to take a break this year. Instead, we spent an afternoon at Downtown Disney.
