santa's lost reindeer

this is santa's long lost reindeer "buddy"...he stands in line right before blitzen. notice the authentic striped reindeer fur.

trip to the los angeles zoo

we decided to take grandma and grandpa choi to the l.a. zoo, and yes, it literally was a zoo. note to self: never go to the zoo on a school holiday, weekend, or on a day when santa and his reindeer are in town.

ethan was much more interested in the dippin' dots than the animals.

he came to the zoo as a boy, and left...a reindeer.

a picture right outside the new campo gorilla reserve. beautiful new exhibit, but this was the only gorilla we saw.

my first tux

little havaianas

here is ethan's first official pair of flip flops. they were a gift from auntie merlie's honeymoon to costa rica. surprisingly, he was able to walk in them, but it was so funny to see him trying to keep them on his feet.

scrub-a-dub-dub

there's nothing like the smell of a freshly bathed kid...just like clothes right out of the dryer. ethan loves taking baths and recently discovered how to aim the water that sprays out of his squirty toy. now bathtime is little more messy than before.

this just cracks me up...

wedding day

here is ethan with the happy new couple. he had a great time being the ring bearer and kept trying to give his little pillow away to guests as he made his way down the aisle. no tears, no hesitation, no ounce of shyness in his little toddler body.

there's always time for a pose with grandma choi and auntie tina.


at the reception, they had a traditional chinese lion dance to bless the new couple. i thought ethan would love it, but the loud symbol crashes and the beating drum scared him...or was it the three huge colorful lions?


this boy loves to dance. all night long he was swaying to the rhythms of the swing band.

a little gentleman

we recently took ethan to get his first tuxedo. in a few days he will be standing as the ring bearer for his aunt marilyn's wedding. jacket, vest, shirt, tie, and pants for under 25 bucks. you simply can't beat shopping in downtown los angeles.

like father, like son...especially the eyebrows.



i was so excited to get his new tux on that i didn't even stop to take off my shoes. ethan had no idea what was going on. one moment it was a t-shirt and shorts, the next...fancy clothes.
