Happy 104th Birthday, Grandma Phoebe
On Friday evening, Liz and I arrived (a little late) and joined my family at my parents’ house. Several family members came back to celebrate my grandma’s 104th (that’s right, 104) birthday.

Jenny’s Family Visits Indianapolis Before Departing to China
Interestingly enough, though Jenny and I both call her grandma – Jenny uses the term “Po-Po” as Grandma Phoebe is her mother’s mother. But I refer to Grandma Phoebe as “Ma-Ma,” referencing her as my father’s mother. It’s nuanced, and the whole Chinese naming thing gets complicated at times.
Dim Sum at Ming Hin (Chinatown, Chicago)
One interesting thing about this place is the ordering process. Instead of roving carts that you’d call over to the table, there were mostly roving waitstaff. Your table gets a large menu with images of all the items, along with blank box in the corner of each. Fill out the quantities you want, and someone takes your order.
Hanging Out at the Hyatt
Did I mention they both had a fairly large cookie, prior to this segment of the evening?
Christmas Day in Indianapolis
The calm before the storm…
Christmas Eve in Indianapolis
Jasmine and Jahnu, focused on their electronic devices. What is with kids these days, and how they seem to be so obsessed with technology and gadgets? Incidentally, that would be my Amazon Echo in the middle of the table.
Jung Family Vacation in Arizona, Day 6: A Day in Scottsdale with Uncle Danny and Auntie Karen
Our original plan was to take Uncle Danny and Auntie Karen out for a meal. But the timing of everything worked out to where we spent the day at their house. At 2PM, with glasses of champagne filled and two bottles of wine opened, our Thanksgiving meal was on in full force.
Jung Family Vacation in Arizona, Day 3: Grand Canyon and Acrophobia
I’m afraid of falling down, and afraid of getting pulled up. I guess I’m just incredibly happy with things as they are.
Jung Family Vacation in Arizona, Day 2: Montezuma Castle and Bell Rock
It was all fairly climbable, as some parts were steep… but still allowed enough traction so it was more like an aggressive stair step.
Jung Family Vacation in Arizona, Day 1: Arrival and the Shadow of Castle Rock
We trekked in to Sedona, and headed to a spot near Cathedral Rock (to a spot where Shane and Stacey got married).
Birthday Dim Sum at Phoenix
My family came into town on Saturday, and we hung out downtown with them on Saturday night. On Sunday, we all met up in Chinatown for Dim Sum, along with Liz’s parents. We met up at Phoenix, and this was Julie and Bob’s first experience with Dim Sum (my mom spent a lot of the meal introducing various dishes to them, and making sure their plates were never empty).
Xmas in Indy, Day 2
This is quite possibly my favorite image from the holidays.
Xmas in Indy, Day 1
Later in the evening, my parents came over and stopped off at (where else) a nearby Chinese restaurant for some take-out. The dining room table was covered with a lot of stuff, so we set up shop at the kids’ table. Is there anything more quintessentially American than Chinese food at Christmastime?
Happy 102nd Birthday, Grandma Phoebe – Part 2

Jung Family Vacation in Grand Beach, Michigan – Day 2
I realized I took way fewer pictures than normal this weekend, which I guess is a good sign that I was enjoying hanging out more than I was documenting. We had a fun late-night excursion to Oink’s Ice Cream and Yogurt on Saturday night, which I’ll try to get photos of next time we’re there. Given how often we’ve hit up Michigan this year… I see it fast being our favorite family vacation spot.
