Easter Fun and ETC...

The past weekend was Easter and I had a wonderful time with all of my family. Fred's brother Bill, his wife Ruby and their two daughters, Katherine and Lauren came to visit us from Vancouver. It was soooo fun playing with them and just acting silly all weekend. We feasted, played, colored, ran and read stories.

The best part about the entire weekend though was honoring Fred's parent's at their grave site. It was an amazing and touching experience for me to be a part of the ceremony. We had to bow three times, lite incense, leave flowers and do a food offering. I was touched to be a part of the experience.

It was also so fun to meet and get to know a huge part of my Chinese family. It reminded me of Korea being around all the chaos and food with them all. I fit right
in, except for the part about me speaking Korean and not Chinese. Oh well, it was still a great weekend in so many ways.

Here are some pictures of what the past weekend was like...

This is my cousin Katherine and myself. We became great buddies!

This is a picture of all my cute Chinese cousins while we were all playing Easter games for chocolate and candy. FUN!



This last picture is of my Easter meal. It is kind of mean to post, especially to all of my friends back in Korea, but is was sooo yummy...



I hope you enjoyed the little update. I will keep trying to post when I can!
