Chocolate Fountain

We are in Southern California for the week! One of our first gatherings was at Uncle Dayantha’s house. Trevor (Auntie Yoon’s son), Oliver (Uncle Dayantha’s son), as well as Andrew and Sienna (Holly’s kids) came over for some fun!

Andrew brought over his chocolate fountain and the kids LOVED it.

By the end, chocolate was everywhere. Leela was thoroughly enjoying one of her favorite things in the world – CHOCOLATE!

Gift Exchange

For lunch, we went to Uncle Dayantha’s house to hang out with Mama and Dada’s old friends from high school. We also brought Alice and Leela to the party.

We had a gift exchange where the kids gave a gift to one friend each.

Auntie Holly also brought a treasure box for the kids to pick what they wanted.

The kids made a big mess but had a great time. Auntie Krissy even brought out crafts for the kids to do together. So fun!! Thanks to Uncle Dayantha, Auntie Krissy, and Oliver for hosting!!!

Afternoon with Friends

The day started with just lunch at the new Islands in the Cerritos Towne Center. Mama and Dada got to catch up with their old friends from highschool (Holly and Dayantha) while the kids sat next to each other and colored.

Then we walked around the plaza and got some soft serve nearby. This is when the smiles and the conversations started.

It was getting hot outside so we all met up at Yai and Ta’s house. The grown-ups hung out while the kids played together.

At one point, we had almost all the kids in the sandbox together. Janie and Andrew made tortillas while Peanut and Sienna “helped”.

Oliver preferred to stay out of the sand and play nearby.

In the evening, three of the kids got in the back of Auntie Holly’s car to drop off Sienna and then we went to Daiso.

These two ended up having a great time together today. Last time they got to spend this much time together was in Hawaii 3 years ago. Too bad we don’t live closer.
