February Update

Happy New Year!

Feb 4 - Today was our celebration in Chinatown for the Chinese New Year...the year of the Rooster. This is our 6th year celebrating with the Families with Children from China (FCC) group and the girls all had a wonderful time. Another great time with friends, family, food, and fun...looking forward to next year.

The picture below was taken on the same day five years ago and one from present day.  My beautiful daughter inside and out!!!


 
Chinatown - Empress Pavilion Restaurant






Feb 11 - Hsi Lai Temple.  Had a great opportunity to visit the largest Buddhist temple in the U.S.  The temple was built in 1988 and practically located in our back door in Hacienda Heights. We shared the day with the McDonough/Cooks, grandma/pa and it included a vegetarian lunch and a tour of the temple. 

















Birthday party for school friend Klhoe.





Happy Birthday Daddy!

Jan 20-22 - Indian Princesses Camp out up in Big Bear at YMCA's Camp Oakes. This was Tanith's first time up to the mountain, playing in snow, seeing it come down, and making a snow angel in real (not man made) powder snow.  This weekend was also one of our biggest, epic storms that we have seen in a very long time, bringing lots of rain and snow to the mountain. Snow chains were required and the drive up and back was slow and steady. At least Saturday, was sunny and the girls were able to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. 












Girls spent some quality time playing and drawing.


Disneyland/New Year Fun.  After many days of cold and rainy days, our day at Disney was warm and dry.  I think everyone decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and all went to Disney...it was extremely crowded (but it usually is).
