Lounging Around

It's been raining so much that we often spend the afternoon indoors at home.  Here is a shot of the kiddies watching TV on a boring afternoon.  How can they be comfortable sitting like that?

I can't remember what we were doing that day (probably grocery shopping) but we were out and about and both kids fell asleep in the car.  So exhausted....

Julia Turns 3! (video)

It's Julia's 3rd birthday today and we didn't have a big party this year.  On the weekend, we wanted to go to Fun4Kids at Aberdeen center to celebrate, which is a huge play center for kids, but she wanted to eat eggs for breakfast so we went to Ikea for the $1 breakfast (includes eggs, hashbrowns and sausage).  And then she was just tall enough to go into the kids play area so she went in for the very first time.  She had a blast.  She was jumping in and out of the ball pool (pool with balls) and didn't even want to leave, until I bribed her with an ice cream cone.

Her favorite dessert right now is ice cream, so for her birthday cake, we had to get her an ice cream cake with ice cream cones on top.  Look at her happy smile!  

Chinese New Year Parade

It was the first weekend after Chinese new year and there was a parade taking place in Chinatown so we decided to head out to we watch it.  We got there 30 minutes before the start time and had to drive around and around to find parking.  We finally found a spot 3 blocks away.

We found a great spot, right in front so the kids had unblocked view.  The kids loved it, every time someone was giving away red pockets or candy or toys, they ALWAYS handed one to Julia first and then Jas next.  They got all the goodies!  Perks of being cute I guess.  We stayed for over an hour and got hungry and tired.  We then walked to Floata for some dim sum.  We saw the "CHOI SUN" just as we walked to the car and we had to get a pic with him.  The kiddies are going to be lucky this year...
