Birthday bash continues...

Bubbe had a special day planned for Noah's birthday... she took him to see the Muppets! Noah had movie treats, his favorite cousin Kaitlyn, Micah and his Dad to watch this movie. Afterwards, Bubbe took us out to eat some yummy Italian food and we ended the evening with Noah's birthday cookie- cake. How will we celebrate next year???

5

Noah wanted to have his 5th birthday party at Scooter's Jungle where there were jumpers, inflatable slides, zip lines, and much more. Noah's favorite friends were at the Curious George themed party and he had a great time celebrating until he bumped heads with another girl and received a nice bruise on his face. He devoured his pizza but was so preoccupied with the amount of presents waiting to be unwrapped that he actually passed on his requested carrot cake (I worked hard on that cake)! Oh well. He had a fun time and that was all that mattered. I can't believe that Noah is already 5 years old... where did the time go???

Happy early Birthday

I always thought having a birthday so close to a holiday would be unfortunate, but Noah absolutely loves it. The word Thanksgiving is now a trigger word... Noah hears it and immediately says, "my birthday is coming." It's nice that the whole family can gather to celebrate Noah's birthday. He got a special birthday cake from my cousin, JooYoung, and his wish came true when Uncle Bill gave him a blue lightsaber and blaster pack. Noah's party (with his school friends) is tomorrow... what will that bring???

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with traditional American fare and of course kimchi. This family get together was extra special because it was JooYoung and David's first Thanksgiving as a married couple and Liam's first Thanksgiving ever! David was inducted to the family by having the task to carve the turkey (Jawsh was finally off the hook). The kids were very excited to have everyone over and it was just so nice to see my family all together (now that my Aunt and Uncle have moved to Korea we really miss them). When will we see them again???

Early Thanksgiving

We spent the day with GGA and GGT at Bubbe's house. We tried 5 Guys for the first time (the boys and I prefer In N Out but Jawsh liked the new burgers) and spent some time at the park. Later in the evening, Bubbe prepared Thanksgiving dinner which was delicious. Zach and Dolly joined us with some yummy pastries from Zovs. It was such a nice treat to spend an early Thanksgiving with the family. We are so thankful that we live so close to Uncle Zach and Bubbe, and that even though GGA and GGT are in Reno, that they visit often enough that the boys not only know who they are but enjoy their company. When will we see everyone again???

Congrats David and Jackie!

My cousin, Jackie, got married to her best friend, David. It was a beautiful ceremony at Cicada in downtown LA. We had delicious food and a great time! My Uncle and Aunt were dressed to the nines and everyone had a fun time watching the couple. When will we see them again???

Hape Brda!

Today we celebrated my parents' birthdays... my Dad turned 69 last Sunday and my Mom is turning 59 next Friday! My Mom made meeyuk gook (birthday soup), kalbi jim (slow braised short rib), and we had a ton of Korean side dishes. Everyone ate so much and we finished with a Chiffon Chocolate Cake. Noah drew a great picture of himself with Harabujee and Micah... this year Harabujee was holding a popcicle and money and he drew Halmoni with Watts and Goldie. What will we do next year???
