Chinese New Year Family Gathering-- FOOD! [Part I]

We considered tonight to be kind of CNY since we were all home and Suk Suk, Helen Yee, Samster and Aaron Jack came to visit us. Family gathering on the dad's side. We don't get to see cousins as much anymore so when we do get the chance to get together, it's always pretty fun. There is something about family that even thought you may not have seen them in ages... some things never change... I love it. Maybe sizes (aka my fat) but the dynamics are still there. :D

These 2 little cousins have also matured quite a bit and it's really fun to see how they've grown. 

 
this is old, it's the dragon's year. but these calendars are usually pretty prettyyy

Ate at Pho Garden for lunch. Much more filling than expected. I was full to dinner, but when I smelled the dinner food... I was instantly hungry again... the reason for my fatness. ahaha. oh wells. I can't help it. Good food calls to meeeee...




super rare steak! it's like sashimi in cow form, ordered by the samster
This stuff was GOOOOOOD! I predict our family ordering more in the future.

YUMMMAYYYYY

grandpa and daughters

Costco run with the mother and Samster. It was a Saturday and suuuuper busy. Took awhile just to find parking. But once we were inside, we made sure to make good use of their samples. Especially their chocolate mushroooomsss! Sam and I got so many that the lady packed up her stall and called it a night. ahaha. Maybe her shift was over, but that's what it felt like.

We spent a good amount of time in there and spent lots of moneys. YIKES!



so good!

Photoshoot in Costco! I remember her being quite camera shy before... things have changed! hehe.






ahahah. they sell everything at costco




Come back to the boys still playing Black Ops... -_-




he got pwned so bad


im about to take that toy in the middle and rip it into pieces

Dinner at our old house with the gmomma and guma. Had some home food and went out to buy some. Nothing like a nice meal at home with fambam. We used to have these kinds of meals a lot more way back when. So now when we actually do it, it's a bit more bittersweet.

yes....?








Here are some group pictures of us. At first my grandma didn't have her teeth in, which explains the mugging. And I know there are a lot. But I was kinda lazy to filter through them so they are all just up.










awkward space on sam's side












OMGGGG... poor mother


visiting the grandpa. he wasn't eating much before, but when we got there he seemed to be just doing quite fine.



We continue our family night by heading to go BOWLINGGGGGG!!!

Suk Suk loves challenging us, but everytime he does... something happens to him or he has some kind of ridiculous excuse. The funniest story is when we played basketball together in our old house where he twisted his ankle. It's pretty hilarious.

However, Bowling may be the one thing he can brag about...
