January 2009 - Zoo Lights/Baby Basket/Gong Xi Fa Cai!/Crabs!
Fortunately, the Oakland Zoo Lights extended into January because we were just too busy to go in December.
Bella is so glad that she is tall enough for the rides now. It was cold, so she had to keep her little head warm.
She picked the tiger and had a blast on the carousel.
We were at the market one night and I looked down and she was sitting in the grocery basket! Such a silly girl! She cracks me up! In the lower photo, she is pretending to be a baby, rubbing her eyes and kicking her legs. I told her that sometimes she acts like a baby.
Gong Xi Fa Cai! It’s Chinese New Year at school!
We are getting good use out of the little cheong sam we bought in Guangzhou.
This is Bella’s class. I guess not everyone got the memo to dress up. Is she being a little monkey so her teacher has to calm her down?
These photos were taken by Uncle Duane at our church’s annual crab feed. It was our first time, but definitely not our last. Mmm mmm…yummy, yummy!
Bella wanted to wear her “Go, Bears” dress and just coincidentally, the crab feed benefited the sports program. Don’t pick your butt! Don’t make faces! Go, Bears! Go, Rams! Go, Bella!
We invited Auntie K because I know she LOVES to eat. Also, the speaker, sportscaster Rick Quan, is a friend of hers.
