Christmas 2023
COVID certainly changed the way everyone lives now. Unfortunately for us the biggest change is the way we gather as a family. We're still able to have Christmas Eve dinner with Auntie Deanna and her
family, but gone are the days when we used to see the entire Bow side (Grandma Sato's extended family) on Christmas Day. This year was special, however, as all of Auntie Deanna's daughters were in town, so it
was the first Christmas Eve in years when all the Chinn grandchildren (Dad, Uncle Joel, Auntie Melissa, Auntie Cheryl, and Auntie Pam) were together under the same roof (man, we missed getting a picture though).

Christmas Day started out with Jordyn coming over in the morning for Hawaiian Bread French Toast. After breakfast everyone hunkered down to open gifts. Some of Tyler's gifts included Japangeles t-shirts,
Lego (of course), a Mandalorian Pop Funko, a brand new gaming monitor, a PS5 game card, and money!
