Christmas!

We enjoyed our Christmas up north with family.
Strange...aren't there a couple little people missing?

Of course, Cousin S and Cashew are sitting at the head of the table. Too bad they didn't enjoy the delicious Beef Wellington.
Yup, a smaller group at home this year - missed you Uncle T and Sushi family.

Yahoo! Wow, is that 2 Santas visiting us? Gee Cashew, you must have been extra good. "Veggie Tales, Tickle Me Elmo, Mega Bloks - what more could I ask for?"

Our visit with the Orrs - is this the prelude of homecoming king and queen?

"Hmm, looks like Uncle Jamie is liking Owen's spelling game..."

Fun with Sushi

"Wow, this is an amazing rice krispy creation. Let me see if it tastes as good..."



"Wow, a new mitt and hat set from the 'Neighbors' - I bet Auntie KL will like this too."

" Hi there, Sushi here. I'm wearing a new Mickey and Minnie Mouse scarf and hat set. Here, feels it soft texture and snug fit on my head. It can be yours for the low price of a new toy for moi."

"Yippee! My parents just left for their Christmas party so I get to spend quality time with Momma Cashew and Spidey. I've been looking forward to this time all day."

"You all be safe out there this Christmas season! I'll be out of town on a business trip for a while so I'll let Cashew have her site back. You all come back now you here?"

Cake, Snow and Kids

Happy Birthday Spidey! How many is that now? Wow, still 29? Mmm, red bean mousse cake. Delicious! I think Sushi wants some too...

We had a visit with Po-po and Gong-gong along with A-ma and A-ye - finally a day without rain so we could do a little sightseeing! We had lots of yummy food too - Korean, Shanghainese etc.

Cashew loves her cousin S.
Hangin' out with the Orr boys. Are they on growth hormones? Come on T, 'fess up!

Snow - inches and inches where we were!! Our drive back home was horrendous - 20mph speeds with all the snow during those days. Took us an extra 1.5hr because the roads through the mountains were snow-covered and with the winds, the snow was blowing horizontally! We were in the car so long, Cashew said, "all done!" Good thing we have snow driving experience from the east :) We counted at least 12 cars stuck in the ditches. Yikes - don't think AAA would have helped this time.
