The story

小雨：汤圆，你看谁来了？爷爷奶奶从美国来了！Tangyuan, look who's here! Grandpa and Grandma have come all the way from America!

爸爸：汤圆！下个星期你就一岁了！爷爷来给你过生日！Tangyuan! Next week you'll be one! Grandpa's come for your birthday!

妈妈：我们带了很多礼物：衣服、玩具，还有十本书。We've brought lots of presents: clothes, toys, and ten books.

大卫：又是书？这次海关没问您吗？Books again? Didn't customs stop you this time?

妈妈：问了。手续办了一个小时！They did. The paperwork took an hour!

小雨妈妈：我们也带了衣服！天冷了，宝宝要多穿，预防感冒。We've brought clothes too! It's getting cold. The baby needs to wrap up so she doesn't catch a cold.

大卫：两家的父母都来了。我们家现在有三代人了！Both sets of parents are here. Now there are three generations in our home!

小雨妈妈：来，汤圆，穿上这件……还有这件……还有这件！Come on, Tangyuan, put this on... and this one... and this one!
