Valentine's Day

Even though this picture resembles one of a school dance pose, this is before we went out for our date on Saturday and those are the beautiful roses Cameron got me. What a wonderful valentine I have! To start off the celebration of Valentine's day, we spent the morning cleaning our very neglected house. In the afternoon we went to The Counter for dinner for some burgers, ate Cinnabon, did some shopping, and saw Valentine's Day the movie. It wasn't anything fancy but it was simple and fun.

On Sunday night, even though poor Cameron wasn't feeling all that great, we had a few friends over to eat and enjoy the couples holiday.

Year of the Tiger

I've always heard about the Chinese New Year celebration in February in Chinatown and have missed it every year. This year we finally got there and enjoyed the experience!

All we had was Cameron's dying iphone so this next picture is off google but is what we watched down there. It was really cool!

Kids danced in these dragon like costumes to music and the audience feeds the dragon tons of cash through its mouth! Cameron decided next year he wants to be a dragon dancer for sure.

In this picture, I was eating (or pretending to eat) a "Jin Doi"-- a fried mochi ball (the size of a baseball) covered in sesame seeds. Cameron and I both agreed there will never be a second experience with the jin doi. I think oil ran down my mouth as I bit into it.

We had to try something new, right?

Happy Chinese New Year!

Karch's visit and 24 candles for the birthday boy!

Meet Karch! This week we had Cameron's younger brother Karch come stay with us for a week and we almost got him to wear this super cool aloha shirt to church! Karch is getting plenty of surfing in-- we see him in the morning and then not again until night. He also has been indulging himself daily at Ted's Bakery. We had him weigh himself the other night and we were all laughing because he's gained ten pounds since being here (that was after a large dinner). We always have a great time having Karch here!

It was Cameron's 24th birthday on January 31st! We celebrated throughout the weekend at Cheesecake Factory on Saturday night, a yummy birthday breakfast on Sunday morning , his birthday dinner and some cake with friends on Sunday night.

Rise and shine Birthday boy!

He seemed to enjoy his birthday, even though he doesn't like the attention.

What a wonderful husband I have! Happy 24th birthday Cameron!
