My mom and I decided to go to SF Chinatown to the Chinese New Year parade...really because we wanted to go to the King of Dumpling house!!!
This picture was just such a funny juxtaposition...
We also went to Lake Merrit and Children's Fairyland...Kiri is such a girly girl!!!
the girls had such a fun time running around...it usually take my mother and I about 40 mins to walk the entire 3.2 miles of the lake...it took the four of us about 3 hours since the girls kept stopping and wanting potty breaks and snacks...
It's funny how an image can bring back so many memories...as we drove from the lake to Lakeshore Ave to get some Noah's and Trader Joe's (both of which were not there when I was growing up) I saw this mural of the side of the underpass...it immediately brought me back to being a preteen in my mom's Volvo , listening to New Kids on the block, dreaming of the exciting adventures I would have one day as an adult...
Here is my cute, cute nephew Parker, giving his teacher flowers!!!
Kiri eating Max's favorite salt & pepper fish...
Lia, also, eating Max's favorite salt & pepper fish...in an act of sisterly love, they thought we should send these pictures to Max so he could see that they were enjoying it without him...
we went out to eat with cousins...Kiri, Devon, Parker & Lia...we ate at a southern restaurant with Beignets, fried fish, & Bayou Burgers with Blue Cheese...
This was their favorite part of the meal...
This was our favorite part of the meal...baby Sierra!
at the New Year's dinner, my cousin Angela couldn't make it due to the horrible weather they've been having in the East Coast...Lia was still happy to show off her increasing talent with Chopsticks.
The girls showing off their Chinese New Year spoils...they love getting their 'hong bao's!'
This is always how I will remember them on flights with me...Lia with her shrimp chips and fan tuan...Kiri with her san zha piens...then, right before the plan lands...
Heaven sitting one on each knee...
