The Han Dynasty

On Christmas Day, we went to Disneyland which is supposedly the happiest place on earth. I might argue that it is the craziest place to be on Christmas Day bar none. Nevertheless, my whole family flew in from Chicago to spend the holidays at our home and we wanted to show them as much of L.A. as possible. It was a week full of Disney, Seaworld, visiting other family, the beach, crab @ Redondo Beach pier, and lots of good Korean food. Despite half the world being at Disneyland, we had a blast. More importantly, Jude & his cousins had a very memorable holiday. They loved driving their own cars, seeing It's a Small World, meeting Buzz Lightyear and the Disney princesses, watching the amazing parade, and capping the night off with spectacular fireworks. So really, being there with my boys, my parents, my sisters, and their families made it the happiest place for me.

 

Don't the boys look great in their Chicago Bears jerseys? They were a gift from my younger sister & brother-in-law:

Before my family flew in, we celebrated Christmas with Kwang's family.

We also got to meet Micah, the son of our friends Ma & Jen Somsouk:

Thanks to my mom, Jude ah-juh-shee and Eli ah-juh-shee would like to formally wish you a happy new year. Doesn't Jude ah-juh-shee look absolutely thrilled to be wearing shiny pink pants? What a good sport...

 

 

 

Housing so many people meant that my little family of four had to share one bedroom. We moved Eli's crib into Jude's room and had ourselves a slumber party. It was great to be there for those special moments like when Eli sneezed so hard in his sleep that he let out a noisy little fart at the same time. I suppose only at this age is something like that so cute.

 

 

I miss my family already.
