Watch us grow!
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!
We had dinner with Mama and Dada’s high school friends today and the kids got reacquainted with Andrew and Sienna.
Mama’s old friend Auntie Holly was in town with her family this weekend and came over with Andrew and Sienna this afternoon. Janie was so excited to see her friend Andrew. Mama made dinner and the kids had a fun time making their own tacos. It was a big mess in the end but they had a blast together.
Later in the evening, the kids enjoyed their first thunderstorm with lighting and sudden downpours. They also played together until bedtime.
It’s so nice to see the next generation playing together without needing any time to warm up to each other. We don’t get these visitors from Southern California very often!!
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.
Andrew and Janie ended up with a water toy to bring home.
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.
