    Merry Christmas!

    I hope you all are having a wonderfully blessed day. I'm trying my best to appreciate and remember everything around me - laughter with family, the magical lights decorating the city, and everyone's general good cheer.  Sometimes in the busyness of it all, we forget to soak it all in.

    Bryan and I have been enjoying the warm sunshine in Bryan's hometown in Southern California. After an exhausting (but totally fun) day in Disneyland (we stayed from 9AM to midnight right after arriving from the East Coast - talk about jetlag!), we've been seeing lots of family, friends, and also enjoying some good eats.

    Like a stop at my favorite dumpling restaurant in L.A.

    Or some fantastic seafood from Rowland Heights.

    Sushi from Little Tokyo.

    And my first time trying shaved "snow"!

    Mochi egg tarts, anyone? (from one of Taiwan's most popular bakeries which transplated to California).

    Hope you all have a wonderful holiday.
