Aloha Yems

Roni on the top photo and Kayla on the bottom. I didn't realize how many pics they took on my MacBooks photobooth. I think the video of Kayla screaming as she pretended to go down a rollarcoaster is hilarious and it was a nice little surprise to see it. I'll try to upload it later.

That is what my grandpa said to me when I came home yesterday! How funny is he? lol. I told him, NO, it's Happy Thanksgiving, not Valentines. He goes eh.. it's still a holiday.
Cam & I spent Thanksgiving at my parents house in Pacifica. It was nice seeing my relatives and hearing all the gossip that's going on in our family. I'm glad I was there to talk to my sister in law's parents who have now offered to watch Roscoe while we're gone in December. Although, my uncle did say multiple times, I don't know if you'll get him back. If he really knew how much of handful Roscoe is he'd probably change his statement. I can't wait to leave this cold/damp weather and step foot on the warm hot sand. Ugh. Seriously, I can't wait.

My mom called me telling me that I should buy something for my cousins (in Germany) and I said I don't know. They she asked. Where can she get 49ers World Series Hats for them? I said, mom.. seriously?

Little Kayla's all grown up and she's an official Girl Scout! No pictures of Roni. I am now required to buy 20 boxes (from each).. Great. I guess everyone's getting Girl Scout Cookies!

These happy hippos are making their way to Arizona to visit some very cute little girls by the name of Roni & Kayla. I can't wait to get their thank you calls.

I found this picture and started laughing. Kayla wanted to touch the sea urchins so bad but she refused to get the "germs" on her hands. It was a personal struggle between fun and cleanliness. Lol.

My family and I stopped by the Foster City Art & Wine festival on Sunday. Roni wanted a goldfish. She didn't win that gold fish. The tantrums started and that was the end of the carnival. =(
*At least my mom got out for the afternoon and bought cute paper parasols. 

Finally! After waiting for an hour, and listening to my mom say, "are you sure we're at the right gate?" Tita Thet shows up! I missed her a lot and glad she's here!

It's been a while since I've been back to Gellert Park in Daly City, CA. It's exactly like I remembered it, freezing. My cousin Jovanie decided to have his daughter Leanne's baptism party here despite the possible rain and cold weather. No parking, loud music, giant Red Ribbon cake and and even more giant fried pig (lechon) all the essentials of a traditional party, if you grew up in foggy DC. I loved the memories that came up and the conversations with the young and old. Surprisingly, my dad introduced Cam to family members as son-in-law Cam. Lol. Pretty ballsy for my dad. Cam was re-familiarized with traditional Filipino food, we were all well fed and enjoyed the time with the family. 

Behind me is Jessica and next to me is Juliette *she just got accepted to Humboldt! yeah for her!

Cam bought this cake for my dad. I thought he should of bought this yule log, BUT whatever. It was his decision. I still want that yule log.
