Edmonton Part I - everyone's home

I told Ba Noi that the ironic thing about death is that it's one of the rare times that everyone comes together. Sadly, our beloved On Co (daddy's On Ngoai) passed away just before the holidays and on eve of Ba Noi's retirement. We all loved him very much. All of the cousins in my generation had differing but equally fond memories of him - Tyler and Jade's eulogies were done very well.

Again though, the positive was that we were all together, and I can't remember the last time that happened (probably Ian's wedding truthfully).
- Pond hockey on the local rink, highlighted by the cousins bodychecking Miki into the snow
- Celebrating Ba Noi's retirement and seeing Sydney and Caden dance up a storm
- Thien baking an impressive and authentic "Luigi's Lasanga"
- Watching Black Swan - weirdness
- Toboganning with kids for the first time - what a thrill for them, and all of us.

It was also great to have an Eggos Reunion night. So proud of all the little sisters - what a special team that was.

Miss you all.
