Best Xmas EVER!

We went to Jenna and Lindsay's house for Xmas....but first, Daddy and Mommy and Brendan and I went to SF to see all the lights and Christmas decorations....and all those crazy people doing last minute shopping! That mall was a madhouse! But it was exciting in San Francisco! We also stopped by Fisherman's Wharf, where I went into a real submarine, and ate yummy clam chowder. And, we went to Golden Gate bridge....it was a super clear day, so it was perfect.

At Jenna and Lindsay's, we had dinner with Paw Paw and Gung Gung too. Jenna and Lindsay have an amazing playroom. I love it. On Christmas day, we went to have dim sum in Oakland, but we waited forever because everyone else had the same idea! Then...we finally opened presents! Yay!!! Santa is the best! I love Christmas.

Oh, Mom and I also baked chocolate chip cookies for Santa. We left them out for him....and he ate a bunch!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm so happy that it's finally here....Santa is going to deliver some great presents! I just know it!

SNOW!!!!!

So, Paw Paw, Gung Gung, Uncle Chris, Auntie Susan, Jenna and Lindsay (plus Maggie...Ack!!) took me to see snow! We went for a couple of days and stayed in a cozy little cabin in Lake Tahoe. We spent a whole day building a giant snowman! I stayed out in the snow the whole time, it was awesome. Jenna and I played well together sometimes, but then sometimes we fought, and fought hard. :) I missed Mom and Dad, but everyone took good care of me.

Happy 3rd Joshua!

Today we went to Joshua's birthday party. It was fun playing with Joshua and Caleb and the other little babies. I really had fun with the bug vacuum....I used it to help clean the floor! :)

Breakfast with Santa!

This morning we went for breakfast with Santa at the community center. It was a lot of fun. I was scared of Santa when he first came in because he was so big and was wearing this big red costume. But then, I realized I could tell him what I wanted for Christmas...and maybe I'd get them. Do you want to know what I asked for? Nahh, that might jinx it. I also got to make a lot of Christmas crafts and eat a yummy breakfast. Brendan went too, but he was really really scared of Santa. He screamed really loud when Santa tried to carry him.

Happy Birthday Paw Paw and School concert

Happy Birthday Paw Paw! I hope you had a good one.

Today was also my school's Christmas performance. My class had to sing a couple of songs....We Wish you a Merry Christmas, and others...but I totally froze. I just stood there with my mouth open, eyes on Mommy and Brendan. At first, I moved my lips a little bit, but then...we'll nothing came out. We had hand movements too...but...what were they again? Anyhow, atleast I didn't scream like the girl a few spots down from me. I'll share the clip of it when Mommy gets to editing the movies again. Here's a pic of us at the potluck lunch.

Happy Birthday Brendan

Brendan had a fun birthday party today...it was also our Christmas party, so we all got some good gifts. You should see the pics of all the kids opening presents. It was totally wild!

Here I am at the party riding around outside on my trike.

And here I am pretending to clean up.....
























And here's me....taking the nice bow....and turning it into a long ribbon....

BEST TRIP EVER!

I LOVE HONG KONG! I had the best time ever and I want to go back. I've even said I want to live there! I'm in love with HK. The Star Ferry is my absolute favorite. I'm completely mesmerized by the crew and the ropes and the water. It's the best ride in the whole world, hands down.

Here's what we did....
Ocean Park - love the dolphins and seals. Grand Uncle (G.U) Dominic came with us and showed us around. I got to play "firefighter" too. And then, we saw my favorite animal. The Pandas. They were so cute.

Disneyland - Dumbo is the best! And Autopia. And the carousel.

The Peak - Paw Paw and G.U. Dominic came too. It was super windy up at the top, but they had an awesome playground up there. The Tram ride is crazy steep. But fun. Afterwards we went the the Zoological Gardens and saw a jaguar....that was sleeping. We had to walk up these super steep hills to get there. It was hard (okay, not so hard for me cuz I was in the stroller)

The Big Buddha - Paw Paw and Gung Gung hike up the stairs with us too. It was a hairy ride on the bus (after a long ride on the MTR). I climbed some of the stairs, but not all of them. Brendan was the lucky one. He got to ride on Mommy's back!

We also saw lots of relatives and friends. Daddy's "Sam Yee Mah" lives all the way out in the Gold Coast. They have a really nice apartment. The building has a playroom that is way decked out. Then there's Auntie Ester and Auntie Emily and her kids Cameron (!!!!) and Charlotte. And Mommy's Grandma, Ah Tai. I was a little scared at first, but I warmed up in no time. Brendan and I had so much fun playing with tissues! I also saw G.A. Margaret and G.U. Raymond and Uncle Wesley. And I got to see G.A. Belinda and G.U. Jeffrey and Uncle Ryan. It's funny cuz Uncle Ryan is friends with Uncle Ken, Daddy's college roommate. We had dinners with him too. I did make a few new friends....Reika and James. I met them when we went to have lunch with Mommy's old CUHK roommates, Auntie Florence, Auntie Shanna and Auntie Clora. Reika is 5 and she gave me candy. :) I really like her. Oh, and I also met up with G.A. Mary. She and Paw Paw took Brendan and I to meet some of Paw Paw's cousins. I had fun...cuz I got chocolates!

I also had a lot of fun eating at Hui Lau San. This yummy dessert place. It's everywhere, but there was one near our hotel (the YMCA Salisbury) and the Star Ferry. I requested dessert almost every night. Mangos are my new favorite fruit.

I think that's it...for now. I'll have to check my notes...there might be more! Stay tuned!

Here's a picture of Reika. She's a nice girl.
