Christmas Fun

Sorry we missed last week's post. We've been having too much Christmas fun with our family and forgot to post our blog. Hope you all had a nice Christmas & ready to welcome 2008!

Christmas Eve with Dada's family at our house. We cooked/ate all day, played football, had a holiday pictionary competition and opened lots of presents!

Hmm which one is from Santa?

Ethan's favorite gift from Dr. Grandpa ... a doctor set. Gee I wonder what he wants me to be when I grow up?

Christmas Day with Mama's family in SF. Po-Po (Grandma) is so silly.

Uncle Michael - thanks for my new books!

Mama hosted the 19th Annual Girl Christmas Get Together with her middle school girlfriends. They have been doing this since the 6th grade! They were laughing lots ... sounds like they had a great time. Always the case when we see lots of empty "grape juice" bottles around.


Louie bowling tournament ... Louie Men vs. Louie Women ... the ladies won. Hopfully we can join the Men's team in future tournaments.

Our 2007 themed Louie Christmas card


Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

Santa's Visit

Santa came to visit us and our friends at our house during the annual SCU Christmas party. I don't think Ethan liked him very much.

I like Santa ... he got me a cool Handy Manny tool set ... just want I've been wanting! Thank you Santa ... I'll continue to be a good boy!

SCU Group Shot!

Rachel Ray's book signing a Santana Row. Heard she's a pretty good cook, gotta try her 30 minute recipes some time.

Christmas party with our 2x2 church friends. Ethan was too sleepy to party with us.

On Tuesday night, Auntie Jen stayed over so they snuck out at 10pm to La Fondu for a chocolate fondue date while we were sound asleep. Maybe we should try sneaking out when they're asleep since they do it to us so often.

I'm walking

I can walk ... almost!

After watching the movie Ratatouille, I've been inspired to cook. Like my chef hat (it's actually white). I made pancakes for my family on Saturday morning. Come on over to try my cooking. I also made Indian curry later that night for our auntie babysitters.

We went to Christmas in the Park in downtown San Jose to check out all the christmas tree lights.

We went to "Bethlehem" in Santa Clara to learn about the real story of Christmas.

Fri Nite - Symantec's holiday party - double date with Auntie Jen and Uncle Hen. Heard they had lots of delicious food. Mama's favorites: fresh oyster shooter, jumbo cocktail strimp, crab cake, sushi etc. Think they also had some yummy "drinks" cuz Mama came home quite "happy" and a little pink. Our church friends came over to play with us while they partied.

Sat Nite: Google's holiday party. They built a huge tent in the parking lot of Shoreline Amphitheathre for this massive party. Boy do Googler's know how to have a good time - packed dance floor with a live band. We were sound asleep at home while Auntie Emi and her friends Joyce and Kim hung out at our house. Thanks for coming over so our party animal parents can go out (again!). Maybe they'll take us to their company parties one of these days.

Christmas Tree

We helped put up the Christmas tree ornaments and decorate the house Thursday night. We love our Chrismas tree! Can't wait to see what Santa's going to bring us this year. We've been really good boys Santa!

Finally got to meet Cayden's new little brother Lucas (6 wks)! Another new friend for me to play with ... can't wait til he gets bigger.

I finished my 1st soccer session and got a certificate. Can't wait for the next session to start in Jan.

Hanging out at the lobby of Auntie Christine and Uncle Steve's (Mama's HS friends) new condo in Oakland by Jack London Square. So nice and fancy! Fun playing with Mama's HS friends.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had to help set the Thanksgiving dinner table for a party of 19 - Mama & Dada's family came over to help us finish the 22lb turkey!




I got to show my aunties and uncles what I like to do on my Mac.

Since it was Thanksgiving, I got a break from milk and had a special drink.

Black Friday Dim Sum (instead of shopping) with all the Louie and Ching cousins.

My friend Daphne from Vegas was in town to celebrate her 2nd birthday at Gymboree - we had a blast.

On Monday night, they snuck out for a date to the Apple store to buy Dada's new iPhone and to Santana Row for dessert for a pre-thanksgiving celebration. Auntie Jen - thanks for staying behind to watch the Bachelor while we slept.

Party Weekend

The partying started Friday Night with our church friends. 11 of us got together to pack 24 boxes full of toys and necessity items (toothbrush, soap, wash cloth etc) for children in other countries to share God's love: Project Operation Christmas Child

After soccer practice on Saturday morning we went to celebrate Joshua Kim's 4th Birthday!
Saturday Night was the annual SCU Turkey Dinner. This is the best picture they got of all 8 of us. Each year we have more kids our age to play with. We had a blast playing with lots of toys. Didn't get home til way past our bedtime (this seems to be the case after every SCU party).
It was fun shopping for new toys at the Lee's house while the adults were eating turkey and drinking too much "grape juice" to take care of us.
Sunday afternoon we went to celebrate the arrival of Krya, Mama's HS friend's new daughter. She's so cute! We had yummy sushi at Moonstar buffet.
The weekend ended at Issy's 2nd Birthday party at Bombay Indian Restaurant. We brought home 2 new friends the balloon lady made us: Mickey & Donald Duck. Night Night ... gotta rest up from all this partying!

First Swing Ride

My 1st swing ride at our neighborhood park! Wheeee ...


Mama brought us to the park to play when Dada was in NY for a business trip. Dada we missed you while you were gone.

Our 1st visit to Uncle Mike & Auntie Min's new home in San Jose. We love your place! Can we come over to play again? Maybe without Mama & Dada next time? ;-)
Testing out the new carpet - very soft!

Trick or Treat?

Trick or treating around our neighborhood. We saw lots of friends and got a bunch of candy (but we couldn't seem to find our candy anywhere the next morning!)

On our way to Google for our weekly dinner ... reading time!

Family shopping time at Santana Row. We got to pick a new book at Borders, had lunch and played outside listening to a live band.

"Mama can I give you and Ethan a big hug?"

Happy Halloween!

Our 2007 Costumes: Very Active Chicken & Curious Monkey!

Halloween Fun with Elmo (Ashley) & Piglet (Mackenzie) at our church's Harvest Festival.

SCU Halloween/Iron Chef Party at the Carinos. Always so much fun with Mama and Dada's college buddies. They sure know how to party! We didn't get home til way past our bedtime.

Doc & Nurse Louie. Mama has been watching too much Grey's Anatomy, she wants her very own "McDreamy!"

Hanging out with my fellow SCU chicken friends (Mateo & Mia).

The younger SCU bunch: 3 Chickens with Bashful Monkey, Sleeping Pea (Eden), Roaring Lion (Cameron).

" Goa-Goa (big bro) lets go get that pumpkin!"

Where are we going?

Pumpkin Patch fun. Can't wait to go Trick or Treating on Wed! Come by to get some candy at our house.
