Chinese New Year Party

Tonight we went to the Indonesian Student Chinese New Year party, the dress code is red so I bought her a dress from TJ Maxx only for 7 bucks :D hehehehe. She looks so cute in a dress and tights and her black Mary Jane shoes.

I'll post more pictures once I got it from the other indonesian kids who took pictures at the party.

So far this weekend was fun too, Vone came over last night and help out with Carissa too! :) it's cute how she can actually call her te te too! :) I think she called her te te O. She has te te E (that's auntie E).

Okay time for night night for me... :)

New Sunglasses & Scarf made by Mommy

Yes, finally we got the picture with her wearing her scarf and the new sunglasses but Carson had to hold both of her hands to make sure she didn't take them off! :) hahahaha

Isn't she the cutest!!! such a stylish girl (even tho she's not wearing any pants at the moment) :D

I finally got her scarf done! after a week working on it with some help from Vone too last weekend. Woohooo!! :)

Today we went to Ankeny to have lunch with Ringga & AJ :). Then we stopped by at TJ Maxx and found this cute red dress (for only $7!!) for this saturday chinese new year party with the indonesian kids.

Carissa even got her first ang pao today from tante ringga (ang pao: Red envelopes are mainly presented at social and family gatherings such as Chinese weddings or on holidays such as the Lunar New Year. The red color of the envelope symbolizes good luck and is supposed to ward off evil spirits.)

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Where's Icha??!!

Sorry.... Icha has been sick for the past week, nothing really bad.. just runny nose and lil bit cough here and there.. so yeah.. and I'm not sure whether we allow to give her anything medication wise. So if she doesn't have fever, usually I don't give her anything.

Anyway, last week was Carissa's last baby class in kindermusik. This coming Tuesday she'll be in Kindermusik Our Time, it's going to be a big kid class. I'm a lil bit anxious about it.. but we'll see. The class is designed for kids from 18 months to 3.5 years old. So she'll be the baby in the class.

I will post more pictures later... I'm already in my comfy bed now, so not gonna get up and go all the way downstairs to upload pictures.

This weekend we had a very fun girls slumber party :D hahaha. Vone had to stay over last night because her car's headlights broken (woohoo for me... heheheh). And then Kari and her son came over and stay overnight too!!! :) I had so much fun! we baked fudge brownies, and then watched movies, Vone & I sew sew sew.. while Icha playing with Doodoo (Declan).

Thanks girls!!! we had a blast!! need to do it more often *wink* :D

Tonight I made pho (rice noodle soup), Carissa loves all kind of noodles but she has her own styl how she eats her noodle. She usualy picks the longest noodle, put the middle noodle in her mouth and slurp it all the way. Then Carson was wondering what's it taste like eating like her. He tried it in front of her, and she laughs so hard when she saw her daddy imitated her. :) I wish I captured it!! next time I would.

Anywayyyyyyyyyyyy I'll post more pictures later okay :D nite nite :).
