A Fun Family February!

In February, Johnny's mom - affectionately know as "NaiNai" (Chinese for grandmother) - and Johnny's brother Jason came for a visit. NaiNai was here for three weeks and Uncle Jason came for a week, overlapping with NaiNai.

We had a wonderful time with them and are so thankful they came to visit us. Amy and I know that Emily was the real draw as Jason even admitted before he came that he was excited to come see "Emily, Emily, and whoever was around Emily!"

We explored Oxford together, took some day trips to surrounding towns and villages, and introduced them to some of our friends here. Emily loved all the extra attention and loved sharing her room with NaiNai and playing games with both of them.

Here's a few pictures of the great fun Emily had with both of them:


NaiNai came and brought a Valentine's puppy!

 
Walking around Summertown.

 
"ShuShu" (chinese for Uncle) Jason came and we put puzzles together!

 
We spent a fun day in London.

 
Reading at bookstores with NaiNai!

 
Emily walking with ShuShu in the snow one morning to school!


Playing at the Wolvercote playground with NaiNai...

 
...and ShuShu!
 
 
Big smiles on the swings...

 
...role reversal fun!

 
Making pancakes with NaiNai (this was Emily's main request of NaiNai before she came)...

 
...and eating them with sprinkles!


We love you ShuShu and NaiNai!
