December is a very very busy and fun filled month. Since Brennan and Emilee left for college and came back home for the Holidays, we filled them up with all kinds of activities and/or gatherings that almost each day we were doing something or exciting.
Emilee, Chris, and even Phoenix joined our kids to go ice skating. Apparently Chris and Emilee never ice skated before, it was also P's first time. While Christ and SS were having fun and goofing around, FF took the time to help P learn to ice skate. P is starting to enjoy time spent with her older cousins.
After ice skating, P had to go home and the rest of us went to Mahdang Korean Restaurant to have dinner. It was one of the restaurants the kids really liked.
During Winter break, FF also invited her friend Catherine over to hangout. Apparently Catherine never used a knife before so we gave her a big knife to cut up food. She didn't' get hurt.
It was SS first time putting furniture together. It took him quite a bit of time and after several broken screws, he was able to put it together and looks great!
While the BYU students, Richard, Kevin, Megan, and Brennan, are back in town, we invited them over for dinner!
It appears that FF starting to like giving mom massages. Mom actually like it more than Da's messages. Which means that Da maybe off the hook!
SS decides to take a shoebox to the grocery store to carry all the groceries for burgers. It was quite an adventure with Chris!

Richard had a 'dying request' before he went back to BYU, which was to eat one of Da's burgers. So the request was granted and everyone really enjoyed the burgers!
Kevin and Richard requested to attend the DC Temple endowment session before going back to BYU since neither of them were able to to attend before going on their missions because it was under renovations. It turned out to be a beautiful trip and they thoroughly enjoyed it.
Da also took his cousins and parents to see the Temple lights and at the DC Temple Visitors' Center they had Beijing Opera show. Before going there, we all had dinner at the yummy Chinese restaurant Full Key. The kids didn't show interested in Beijing Opera, so they went to the movies to watch the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever movie.
