Happy Thanksgiving!

This year, we flew to Cincinnati to celebrate Thanksgiving. We flew in last night on the red-eye. It's been a while since we have flown on the red-eye, but every time we do, we vow that it's the last time. This was no exception. You walk off the plane all bleary-eyed and it just wrecks you for the whole day. We flew Delta and while the seats looked comfy, they were so NOT.

We arrived in at the same time as Edwin's mom. Everyone else was already back at the house- Grace and CiCi and my parents. Grace made a 22 lb turkey with Chinese style stuffing AKA rice with Chinese sausage. It was delicious! We had so much food that when we finished the table was still full of food. We took a lot of pics, so I'll add them when I can. As with most Thanksgivings, there was a lot of eating and a lot of sleeping though I think that the red-eye caused us to sleep more than usual. Here are the before and after shots of the turkey.


I was trying to remember what we did for Thanksgiving last year and I realized that we were in Australia on our honeymoon, so we didn't actually celebrate Thanksgiving. I was also really looking forward to it because we were at Jamie and Kaori's place before we left for the airport and they were cooking up a storm in preparation for the big day.

I finally sent out the notice that we moved. I realize that it's been almost 2 months since we moved, but time has just flown by. I guess with all the home renovations and projects, it has just usurped a lot of our free time. Anyway, Happy Turkey Day and hope everyone gets a bargain shopping on Black Friday.

Here are some more pics of the spread that we had and Hannah and Edwin playing Chutes & Ladders. I guess Hannah is at that stage when she poses for all her pictures with her tongue sticking out and making a face. I think that maybe I'll tell her about Santiney and how difficult she found it to be to find a picture of herself without making a face from ages 6-10. Not sure that she'll grasp that what she's doing now- she may regret later when she needs pictures of herself when she's younger and she's got all these photos with her making a face.
