Po Po and Gong Gong Visit

Po Po and Gong Gong came to stay with us for a week while the kids were off for ski week. They had fun taking walks and playing basketball outside and we all enjoyed their cooking!

We started the week by taking them to the CA Academy of Science.

Then we went to Chinatown and the kids got to see some Lion dancers

Natalie and Tyler made pretend pastries with clay

Here’s a video of the kids playing basketball with Po Po

Valentines Day

This morning while leaving for school, Tyler says to me “I made you something for valentines day. I’ll give it to you later.”

Year of the Snake

We drove down to LA on Friday after school to celebrate Chinese New Year. On our way down, we found out that the Grapevine was closed due to snow so we had to take a detour which extended our drive an additional 2 hours!

We were having a conversation about Chinese people:
Me: Are you Chinese?
Tyler: yes… half.
Me: oh? What’s your other half?
Tyler: English.

Nat wanted a new Chinese outfit so we went to Chinatown and she picked this one.
