It was a very quick trip to LA, leaving on Sunday, the 23rd and returning Thursday, the 27th but it was well worth it and so much fun we had!
Bo had changed so much just since Thanksgiving and he's now laughing out loud and playing in his saucer and loved watching Yo Gabba Gabba for a short time - his attention span is very short and he has to be stimulated all of the time - he's not happy being held for very long which is fine!
We had so many great meals; Riyoko is a fabulous chef and we had a wonderful prime rib dinner on Christmas Eve and prime rib sandwiches the next day. For Christmas evening we went to their friends home, Wenyee & Melvin, and again, had another delicious prime rib - yes, I do love beef! When we walked in, Riyoko's sister, Yoko, jumped out of the bathroom to surprise us all except their parents 'cause they hadn't arrived yet - it was such a surprise 'cause Christmas Eve we were video chatting with Yoko in Japan! She answered the door when her parents arrived and her mom said, "Who are you?" It was so great having everyone together at Christmas especially with Bo now being here!
On the 26th, Hiroshi & Osako treated everyone to dinner at a Thai restaurant for dinner in Long Beach and then we went to look at the fabulous Christmas lights which Bo really enjoyed!
We left the next morning and, of course, this grandma cried when we had to leave!
