We flew to Cerritos for a long weekend to spend time with the family and to get our taxes done.

Peanut was up early every morning and luckily there was a Starbucks and donut shop that we can walk to.

It was nice seeing Jason, Jia, and the twins again. We’ve missed them so much since they moved.

We also went to Brother and Joy’s new house. The kids broke in their newly renovated livingroom with lots of noise and drool.

The girls had so much fun together that we left KK there to spend the night. She ended up asking for me in the middle of the night and Brother slept in the room with her that night while Alice went to sleep with Joy.

On one of the mornings, I went to the Farmers Market to pick up hula popcorn for KK. Yummy.

On Saturday, we threw a small birthday lunch with just the family at Sweetee Thai where she got her own fresh coconut and her favorite Tom Kha soup.

After her birthday lunch, some of us took a walk to the park. It took us across the 605 freeway, which was pretty cool (and a little scary).

On Sunday night, KK had another birthday celebration and we got a rare family photo together.

The kids had a fun time in Southern California and luckily they’re good travelers.
