Chinese New Year is a big holiday for Kim's Family, so we went to LA to celebrate. Cousins Kevin and Justin came in traditional outfits, so we all posed with them!

Food offerings and incense. Po-Po puts out food and prays for several days. Not pictured, but there was also tons of amazing delicious food for us to eat.


The Shrine


the Wii is a new video game system that uses your movement to play the game. To box, you shadow box, to bowl, you swing your arms like a bowler! Really fun, and ton's of energy.


Uncle Ryan boxing


It was hilarious watching everyone jump around the room while boxing, playing tennis, or bowling on screen.

Uncle Giai got worn out between all the good food and boxing on the Wii
