Silly family

We are obsessed with football - playing, watching and managing our fantasy football team.

Uncle B + 3 ... thanks for the invite!  

Spontaneous 49ers game - thanks Uncle Steve!  

While the boys were at the 49ers game, Mama and I went out to jump in leaves and drink hot chocolate.   I even wore my boots and purse to match Mama. 

Sweet girls time!

Ol Christmas Tree 

All done :) 

Eventful weekend

YMCA Basketball team - Dada, thanks for helping coach my team! 

After an 8 week class, we had our first scrimmage.  Parents had fun watching us double dribble and not sure which basket to shoot into.  I may be the only girl in class but I can hold my own. 

All ready for Mama's cousin's wedding. 

Congrats Auntie Joanne & Uncle Mark!  

Awesome family reunion for Great Grandma and her 6 children (GongGong's the eldest) 

Cousins united from near and far. 

Sisters sushi lunch. 

Mama's work offsite in SF - Dim Sum at Yank Sing then she had to figure out how to "escape from Alcatraz" with her co-workers.  Sounds like a fun team building activity.  

Simple cuddle time 

Oct / Nov Mega Skill Awards winners for Caring and Problem Solver (I'm center bottom row). 

My parents had to come see for themselves that I won a Problem "Solver" and not Problem "Maker" award ;) 

FFF - celebrating school awards and good grades over Korean BBQ

Spontaneous weekend nerf playdate with my neighbors.   So grateful my besties only live a few blocks away. 

After 2 months of prep for our lego robot project - it's showtime!  

Date with my dad.  Can you tell from my smile how much I love 1:1 time with him?  

Let the thanksgiving begin

Thankful for dear Auntie Jenn for being part of our church, school and neighborhood the past couple years.  Thankful that she's no longer in pain fighting cancer but in heaven with the Lord.  What a legacy she's leaving behind with all those she has touched. 

Thankful for Auntie Loan and Uncle Dan finding each other.  Parents had a great time at their wedding.  We're thankful for Uncle Michael (Mama's bro) for taking care of us for 9 hours (if we include his nap)!  

Thankful for fun and crazy college girlfriends. 

Thankful for beautiful bridesmaids ... friends for 16+ years!  

Thankful for our youngest cousin who just turned 3 months and had his Red Egg party!  What a cutie! 

Thankful for good grades.  Our parents say we need to work hard and play hard (in that order).  I love to play so I guess I have to work hard too. 

Thankful for being aggressive on the court (even tho I'm the only girl). 

 Thankful for making it to the Championship game for this weekend's tournament and taking 2nd place :)

Thankful for yummy and free food at work.   TGIM(onday) ... we get to eat at work again! 

Thankful for handi-boys who can install this device (and others) on their own. 

Thankful for cooking (blue apron) meals with friends - Chicken Parmesan with roasted broccoli and mash sweet potato. 

In Loving Memory of Jenn Garcia

This Friday we lost a dear friend, Auntie Jenn (top left).  She's a strong church and school leader, caring neighbor and loving friend to us.  Girls lunch just last month.   After a 3 year cancer battle, she's now pain-free in heaven.  We miss you Jenn!

Mama's in Singapore so Dada took us to McD for Brinner - what a treat! 

Mama had a blast in Singapore with her co-workers.  But she's happy to be home with us now.   Dada - thanks for taking great care of us on your own!
