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.

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 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!!

brunch

Janie went to brunch at a fancy place in Walnut Creek this morning with her pal Sophie and second cousins Sadie and Theo.  They sat at the big table and enjoyed the complimentary fruit from the nice waitress.  Look how well-behaved they look!

Afterward, we went to Sophie’s house to play.  She has such a great selection of toys to play with!  These kids move so quickly it’s hard to capture them all in one photo!
