December over, 2021 over

December went so fast! Julian got the best conception of Christmas this year! During the 2 weeks vocation, Mason took big kids to skii. We dipped chocolate, playing with snow, we made gingerbread house, we invited Jack’s family over for dinner, boys played board game while girls making wreath. 
One night., crystal was in town , Brittney and I went to red iguana for dinner to celebrate crystal’s birthday.
On Christmas Day, kid’s favorite present from us is of course PS 5! We went to parties from webster and helpers on side. Right before the day of Jeppson’s party, I felt chill and muscle sore, but I still tried to make Chinese Shaomai to take to the brunch , because Jan said on the email, emily would bring” Chinese surprise”, this kinda gave me the pressure to go. Or else I would stay at home resting. Next day, mason felt cold too, whitney gave us one package of testing Covid stick, we both tested next day. We all POSITIVE! We asked Marilyn to test too, Positive again! I immediately asked kids to take care of Julian, feed him, put him to bed, jet was so helpful, tess was finally home( at grandma’s), she helped too, both kids talked to us by our door, we were isolated from them for one whole night and one day, we felt like they must get it cuz we live together. So I ended us get up and make food for them with mask on. We stayed inside of the house the next 4 days even though we felt normal. I felt so lucky I have enough supplies for the food until we drank the last drop of milk next Monday, right after new year!This is the story of getting Covid!

Beginning of December

 Tessie just finished her winter performance yesterday. It’s. About the story “the Grinch who stole the Christmas”, I really enjoyed , so I invite Meme and Her grandparents , Enji came to watch the show. Tess was one of the wind up doll, she performed well, maybe she will be a dance? She wants to be a lawyer. What will

She be? 

Dec 2rd, my mom started her kidney stone surgery on her birthday! I was so nervous about it, i felt I could lent trust the doctor and the nurse after the doctor moved my mom

Out of the single room to 6 people room for his own relative to stay in. And the nurse was threaten my mom if she didn’t move she couldn’t promise the next day Surgery…. Good thing, the surgery went well and she is recovering, when my mom send me a tiktok video, I knew she is feeling better… wish I could be with her and take care of her, wish Covid over soon… 








thanksgiving break

We had thanksgiving dinner at Aunt Paula’s house this year, a feast again! I brought banana cream pie, everybody bring a pie, we had 7 pies!! During the break, kids had each of their friend group came to the house to play, Marilyn &David went to Rachel’s house, Mason did the surgery again for his belly. I appreciate the service of the hospital here, I had to take care of kids and host jet’s friend’s play day while
Mason was doing his surgery ( they changed the schedule). The nurse called me when he went in the surgery and called me after for me
To pick him up. It would be so hard if I was in China to do those all by myself!







 

Meme’s 90th birthday

I admire this grandma! On her 90th birthday party, I missed my grandmas and grandpas who passed away , I even missed my aunts and uncle that passed. Meme doesn’t have a very comfortable life, always busy with activities, teaching piano, those must be the reasons to keep her live such a long life! Because of her, this big family always get together, close to each other. I wonder how long would I live? Wish I could live longer enough to see my great grand kids…
