4 year check up

The paper robe made J nervous.
He got two vaccinations which made him cry.....

Santa was here!

Christmas morning

At grandparents house for dinner.  Of course, more presents!

Travel Town in Christmas

It is the time of the year to go travel town to get train ride and see Santa Clause.
We joined in our friends family.

The train goes in the illuminations.

Santa Clause's house is located in the museum this year.  It had always been outside until the last year.

Picture with Santa.

Santa asks what J wants for Christmas.

A doesn't really want to talk to Santa.

We left Travel Town and rush to LAX to pick daddy up.  The boys were out in the back seats.
OMG!  Traffic was crazy near airport.

I can write ABCs!

Writing ABC....

 Practicing "R". 

The Balian House

It is our annual event to walk to the Balian House with dog(s).
I thought it was a little too much to take two young children and dog all alone, so we drove up near the Balian House, and walked around the corner.

When J was one year old (2008).

Santa Clause is comming to school

 We had a Christmas event at J's Japanese school today.
There were songs and ensembles by the children on the stage.

J was confident and did great job on the stage.  His instrument was a castanet.



Santa Clause appears.


Receiving a present from Santa.

It was too boring for the little guy.

Thunders

Big heavy rain came all of the sudden when we were having late lunch.
We heard big thunders, but since we were inside of a restaurant, it wasn't too scary for us.
People said those were one of the biggest though.

Rainny Day

It was raining all day.

We had dinner at Islands.  We participated J's school's fundraising night.

Calories were indicated in the menu.  I feel so guilty after the meal.......

Santa and Christmas Tree

It was our neighbor's Food and Toy Drive this morning.
We saw sheriff  cars and Santa Clause from our house.
The boys were excited.

When we got too close to Mr. Santa Clause, A dropped tears and "NO!"

Enjoying donuts

Brand new bikes were donated

We got our Christmas tree from our YMCA.

The tree is light  up.
Let's hope the tree will stay in its shape until the Christmas day.......

Storm

After the wind storm last week.....
Our house

Neighbors

 

The wind was like this.

While we lost power, we went to Peet's Coffee to charge cell phone, ipad and get internet connection.

J enjoyed his first hot coco.

Fire Station

A and I had a field trip to Sierra Madre Fire Station.
(We are taking a parent education class offered by Pasadena City College on Mondays)

The children got a hat and a sticker.

Alarm went off.  They had to go.


Walking around the station.

Engine is back.

He did not want to go in the fire engine.

Big shinny wheels.
