It was great to be back in Cedar Falls again. This morning before leaving the house, my 4-year-old son gave me a big hug and told me he will miss me when I'm gone, almost made me not want to leave :).
It was a beautiful day for Young and Yue's wedding, who both have traveled long distance to have their wedding in Cedar Falls.
I must say the bride and her bridesmaids have been very cooperative taking pictures braving the cold.
We were trying to hurry with outdoor pictures, limiting our creativity in posing, trying to get back into the limo as fast as possible. Poor girls!
Yue's dad came all the way from China to attend their wedding.
We have traveled to Singapore for a long trip to visit family. Chinatown in Singapore is filled with beautiful lights to welcome the year of the rabbit.
On Chinese New Year, all families and friends visit one another in their beautiful new clothes.
Everyone joins in with a pair of chopsticks to mix a popular dish called "Yu Sheng" which consists of some raw fish.
Here's me and my boys in our traditional clothes. The mandarin orange resembles gold and we would exchange them with friends and families to wish them fortune.
Kids gather to play in our playroom.
Kids too get to play outside on the playground.
Kids get entertained with Thomas trains and hamsters.
There's lots of candies on Chinese New Year.
The kids love being with their cousins. Here they are on a car ride home after visiting friends.
Here they are on a phone call with their cousins. Can't get them apart.
I brought the kids to a shaded playground at the IMM Building. This place was usually crowded with kids over the weekends. I love weekdays.
They turned on the waterpark just for us. The waterpark is located at the top of the mall. The boys had tremendous fun there!
Looks like this will not be the last time we'll come here. How fun!
