The Zhao Family

2024-05-12 Mother's Day

A super successful Mother's Day! We started with waking up early and making breakfast for mom. SS took over 7 hour to draw a very detailed card for her.

Then we went to church where FF was part of the choir playing her French Horn in "You Raise Me Up".

When we came home, we had a simple lunch. FF made a bouquet of flowers, inspired by something she saw on Instagram. She also gave mom a hairbrush with personalized Snoopy on the back. Da gave her a pearl bracelet and a tumbler she has been waiting for.

Afterward we got to work, as requested by mom. To clean the kitchen stove, mulch the front yard, and washed all the dishes.

Then we made dinner for mom. SS made mashed potatoes, FF made a new dish - zucchini fritters, and Da made steak. CC joined us for dinner virtually while also wishing mom a great Mother's Day. It was a great team effort and mom loved it!

Our kids went to 4H for many years. After some changes and covid, we stopped going. However we are still members of the club. SS applied and was granted some scholarship funds for college when he applied. A formal dinner and ceremony was held for all the scholarship recipients at 4H.

2024-05-03 Temple baptism and Ning family visit

Our branch finally have a temple baptism after many years and it was a great turn out. Close to 30 people turned out for the activity.

Afterward, we met up with Ning family. It's been a long time since they've come visit us for the weekend after moving to Utah. They have a daughter Allison, who is so cute! It was great to see them again and catch up.
