Rest from the Sun

February 18, 2021 No Comments

Today was a rest day from the sun. It was also Toni and Thomas’ last day in Hawaii.

On our walk to the food court, we saw a Mama duck and her ducklings going for a walk too.

The kids love going up and down this escalator at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center.

At the food court, we got a special treat at Kokoro Cafe. It’s called a Shaka-Boom: waffle shaka filled with chocolate sauce and topped with Dole Whip and rainbow sprinkles. Yum!

We also spent the afternoon in our room. The kids had a fun time together.

For dinner, we went to another food court and got one last family photo together before Toni and Thomas left for the airport.

New Year’s Eve

December 31, 2020 No Comments

We are all so happy to say goodbye to 2020. To celebrate, Uncle Johnny made macarons and the kids helped out.

Mama flew back in time to enjoy some hot pot and to do the countdown to 2021. This was the first time spent NYE with the family all together. Happy New Year!

Zoom Birthday

April 20, 2020 No Comments

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.
