Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! We wish you all good health, true happiness, and peace at home!

Here are some New Year photos of us with our photogenic lil’ girl.

In case you are wondering, we never tell her how to pose. I always tell her to “stand properly and look at the camera,” and she will figure out how she wants to look in photos.

It’s definitely not a genetic thing.

She is just very comfortable in front of the camera, probably because I have taken more than 15,000 photos of her in the past 5 years.

There must be a better time to go see the Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Center than last Friday at 7 o’clock, but we went anyway. It was cold, windy, and extremely crowded—so crowded that if anyone whispered the word “bomb,” it would have started a stampede!

Anyway, in between the bitter cold & the warm Lego Store, we managed to find a few spots to snap some nice photos before taking the train back home. Enjoy!

This year we did it again—we made our own turkey! Jeremy also brought over a big piece of ham to go with our 20-lb. birdie. We also added items to our menu, including candy yam & apple pie. Good thing we had 2 Elders over so we were able to finish half of the food. It took all day to prepare the meal but we sure enjoyed it.

Check out the delicious photos! Enjoy!

Merry Christmas everybody! Here’s our 2008 Christmas photo & newsletter. Click on the thumbnails below to see it in full size!

This past Halloween was Kaitlyn’s 2nd Halloween. Last year, she was a hot dog & she hated the outfit. Not because it’s a hot dog, but because it has no pant legs. Yes, she was only 9 months old but she was already standing up & starting to walk.

This year, she’s a cat. Although this one has legs, she didn’t really like wearing it either, but for the most part she was OK with it. It might be because she got to wear it once at a church Halloween party, a few days before Halloween. This year, we took her to Queens to her grandparents’ house & trick-o’-treated there. Our old pal Patrick was also there with us.

Here are some pix from the party & Halloween night:
