Chinese New Year (yes, I know it's late)

This is my family, celebrating the New Year back in Taiping, the small mining town in which both my parents spent their childhood.

The second picture is one of us with our grandparents. The tall boy in the black t-shirt to my right is my baby cousin Jae Han. The last time I was home, he was at least a head shorter than me, so imagine my surprise when he walked in the door. As kids, we carried him around like a little baby monkey! And now, he tells me I'm too long-winded in my blog. My baby cousin. Tsk tsk.
