Thanksgiving 2008

What a great time with family and friends! In the morning, my parents and I went to church for the Thanksgiving day service - people shared their testimonies, the choir and other small groups presented songs, this little 4 or 5 year old girl (she was so cute) said the 'Our Father' prayer in Chinese. It was so adorable it literally made me cry. Afterwards, the rest of my family came in from NYC and we went to pick them up at the bus stop. We all ate lunch together at church after the service - it was potluck style. There were SO many people - and they don't kid around about food! It's like a free-for-all, if you don't hurry, there's nothing left! Someone brought an entire fish, and by the time I got to it, it was a fish head and bones, hahah! My friends from church were very welcoming and hospitable towards my family; it was really nice to have them meet each other.

After lunch, we went back to my parents' house and hung out while dinner was being prepared. I have the best family ever - I will never forget the hilarious conversations we shared on that L-shaped couch!

Dinner is ready! We missed you Madelina and Julien!

















Mix of Asian and American style cooking

















The chicken was perfect, especially with Colin's yummy gravy!

















Guess who made the apple pie? Isn't it beautiful? Mmmm, with vanilla ice cream. I think there is still some left over in the fridge, hmmm... should I go eat it?
