Christmas goings-on

We were very busy over Christmas. It was great to see the Cashew Family.

Look at the beautiful bride. Where's the groom?

Here he is.

Bravo's chillin' out

in the dentist's chair.

Another family dinner.

Cousins' Potluck 2

Dinner at the table.
And at the kids' table too.
From the east coast,
across the border,
and the other side of the Pacific. We're pretty spread out.

Thanks, D. A-ku for taking pictures.

Several of you are missing. Hope to see you soon!

(K. here's your tummy shot.)

Bonded for Life

I (Mommy) am stealing the title for this entry from a fellow twin mom who has a gift for words. Many of you have heard about my monthly dinners. Go read what we're all about. http://leoroaring.wordpress.com/2010/06/11/bonded-for-life/

I love these twin mamas. These ladies are my friends and a source of inspiration, laughter and encouragement. Here they are helping to get a photo of our kids. :)

14/17 kids isn't bad, right? Can you match all the twins (+ 1 older sister)?

Tech the Halls

What is Alpha watching so intently at Tech the Halls?

Bravo is too...

Bobs & Lolo!!!

We played,

made snow and

marshmellow snowmen, and enjoyed hot chocolate (not the boys ) and cookies.

What a fun night!

Showerheads again

So many dresses, which one to choose?

Here is our blushing bride. :)

"Wine" & Cheese

Look who got all dressed up again.
Yummy!!

Bright Lights

Look where L-Ama took us!!
We love the train!!
We're learning about fire and 911 at preschool.
Looks like fun!

Jam Session

Snow already?

Fresh tracks in the snow.
What are we going to do today?
Bravo: Let me think about it.
Trampling the front yard is always fun.
Or developing strategies for a snowball fight. :)

Christmas starts early at Foxtrot's

Starting off with some sharing (Alpha and Foxtrot)
and some quiet time in the tent.
Goh-diu's Remembrance Day tradition - get the Christmas decorations up. A few peculiar ornaments on the tree?
Alpha helping out.

Foxtrot too.

Foxtrot getting some mommy time.

Bravo too.

Rounding out the evening making some bao-ah.

Shinkansen

A-ma came back with some Shinkansen (bullet train) souvenirs. Thank you, A-ma, 7 i-tso and i-ma.
Alpha and Bravo were very excited. T-shirts,
socks,

and trains! Shinkansen speed is apparently contagious!
