The Princess and The Frog
Sofie's first trip to the cinema! It's been a holiday week (CNY is a big deal here) and the kids are all out of school. With the new Disney Princess movie, "The Princess and The Frog", just out, Sofie and her crew of girlfriends had a girls' morning (9am movie!) for the event. Sofie was very proud of herself for bring "SOOOO brave" during the scary parts.

Space Museum Field Trip
After 2 weeks of intense learning about space, the planets, and the entire solar system, we had a field trip to the Space Museum. Sofie looooooved it.

New Year's Eve
It was a really wonderful new year celebration with all of us together. Ahma cooked the best meal of the year with a magnificent New Year's feast that left us comatose. We topped it off with a celebratory cake/cupcake delight (complete with Princess rings on every one) and sang "Happy New Year to Us"!!! After the kids were down, we proceeded to play Agricola AGAIN but pausing long enough to cheer the new year in with everyone!
YUM, YUM & MORE YUM. And this was just half of it.

Other Holiday Fun
Let's see.... besides sleeping, playing Agricola (our new favorite family board game), what else were we up to...
Christmas gift to the big boys: all-you-can-eat stone crab claws at Truluck's! They managed 17-20 per person (Su-Ting had an assist from me...) - impressive. I ate a Wagyu burger instead, having indulged in the feast just a week earlier.
Another night out... each couple got a bottle of red & a bottle of white
We couldn't resist dessert at Dairy Queen -- gotta keep these kids up with American traditions!
Not surprisingly, guess who loved the Blizzard?
Picking strawberries, oranges and starfruit at a friends' farm
And Sasha, hitting that 18 month mark, really turned into an animated ball of comedy!! She was always up to some nonsense, and perfected her camera-ready smile :)

Sometimes sunny, sometimes not-so-sunny, we still managed to enjoy the outdoors...
