Visit from Ye ye and Nai tai

In early June, we got a visit from Ye ye and Nai nai.  It was a special time because this was the first time that we have been able to see them in person since a family reunion during Christmas of 2019.  

When they arrived, they had a bunch of gifts and trinkets for the kids.

One thing that we did together was to watch the animated Little Mermaid movie.  This was because the girls tried out and made it into a Little Mermaid production with our local youth community theater group.

We also made dumplings together.  Karina helped to mix together the ground meat mixture.

And then everyone helped out with wrapping the dumplings.

This was Ye Ye and Nai Nai's  first time meeting Lucky.  He can sometimes be wary of new people and took a while to get used to them.

Eventually he warmed up a little bit.

We also went to watch Gabe's soccer game.  It was, unfortunately, pouring rain and really cold.  He still enjoyed playing though.

And he also played checkers with Ye ye.

Here is a group picture together.  We made a point of taking the picture standing up, because all the kids are growing and we wanted to see how tall they were.  As you can see, at some point during the pandemic, Eliana surpassed in height compared to Nai nai!
