Mr. Bebo

Here are photos taken throughout 2004 of our Baby Bebo napping and playing. He can be quite a character...especially with his favorite toy, Mr. Tu Tu (or Mr. Rabbit).

Out and About on Boxing Day 2004

Shopping with the masses at South Coast Plaza meant that we spent a good amount of time in the car, waiting. We sure made good use of that time as we snapped our hearts out with our digital cameras ;). Then... more waiting for lunch, waiting for the restrooms - even the men's restroom had a line, and people were also waiting to get into the LV store. Annie and Gordon felt like they were back at Disneyland! It was an enjoable day, nonetheless, as good company always make any wait seem short.

Disneyland Christmas 2004

Elizabeth's first trip to Disneyland!

On their busiest day of the year, Disneyland 'sold out' by 12:15 PM. Despite the crowds of families and tour groups, we managed to get in a few rides. Favorites of the day included the Carrousel, Tea Cups, and the Disneyland Rail Road!

Christmas' Eve 2004

Christmas' Eve: Family, hot pot dinner, singing around the piano, video games, presents and lots of laughter, love and kisses!

Festive Las Vegas - Bellagio Style

The Bellagio is a beautiful hotel with the lobby ceiling adorned with 2000 hand-blown glass flowers - the Fiero di Como, created by Dale Chihuly. During the holidays, the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is turned into a Winter Wonderland of fresh flowers, trees, colors, and scents that exude the Christmas spirit. Happy Holidays everyone!

Five-Course Dinner with Emily and Sonny

It is always nice when friends from afar come visit our home. Gordon cooked up a delicious 5-course meal for Emily and Sonny, who are expecting their first little one in the coming Spring. We are very excited for you two!!!

Birthday Cake, Friends, and more Cake!

A sweet ending to Gordon's birthday BBQ.

Hog Island Birthday BBQ

We celebrated Gordon's birthday this year at the Hog Island Oyster Co. in Tomales Bay. It was not just about oysters... it was also about the Korean BBQ, the corn, the soup, and of course, the company. It was a fun-filled, exciting, and delicious day! And we haven't gotten to the cake(s) yet!

Celebrating Gordon's Birthday with Mom and Dad

Friends and Blue Skies in Hermosa Beach

Nothing beats a lazy afternoon soaking in some sunshine, watching surfers and examining the catch of the day of the many fishermen on the pier at Hermosa Beach.

Elizabeth's Green Dragon for Halloween

Our entire family was excited to help Elizabeth pick out her first Halloween costume. However, little Elizabeth needed no help. Her mind was made up the moment she saw this large-eyed, adorable green dragon.

Looking Back...Elizabeth Turns TWO in May 04

With her favorite outfit on, given to her by her Auntie Annie and Uncle Gordon, Elizabeth set out for her second birthday party at her favorite park. The agenda that day included kite flying with Daddy and Uncle William, flower picking (a favorite past time), blowing birthday whistles with Grandma, running around with all of her favorite auties and uncles, and a lollipop licking comepetition! (Sorry I missed the candle blowing and cake cutting pictures!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WINSHINE!!! :D
