2009 thanksgiving

再不趕快寫,Christmas 都要到了........

The most memorable thing in this Thanksgiving was that I prepared the turkey. We were having the party at my brother-in-law's house; however, their oven was broken, so they thought of coming to our house to cook the turkey. It's not feasible to have them come back and forth during the long cooking period, so I offered to cook the big bird which I haven't done it for quite a few years. No problem. I have a 賢惠的 friend, and we had juicy and tasty turkey at her house last year, so I emailed her a "SOS", and asked for help. She gave me detailed instructions, and the turkey turned out to be better than I expected..I'll say..pretty good; at least, I loved it. When I have time, I'm going to post the recipe on my other website: http://happyfamilyandfriendskitchen.blogspot.com/

My parents were in my house during the Thanksgiving, and they helped us to assemble the headboard for Ha's bed on Friday. Then, we had a lunch at Hotpot City. It's usually expensive, but it's cheaper on weekday lunch hours. Ha and Hee liked the experience of "火烤兩吃”, and I liked 刨冰 the best. We also tried to get some ideas for the 認識10周年hotpot party at our house on 12/5 (which I will write it later when I have time.). In the afternoon, we went to SFO to pick up 2 girls from Taiwan. Ha, Hee, Stephen and my dad went for the free air train rides while Mom and I were waiting for the girls. Kids had a lot of fun just by riding the air trains back and forth for a few times. We went for a little SF tour trying to get them to the hotel, had a dinner together in SF and went home.

On Sat., we went to Vasona Park for biking(actually, we also went biking at Lake Elizabeth on Thursday before I worked on the turkey). Biking, biking, everywhere! Well, Ha and Hee went biking , and we were jogging after them. It's a very good exercise.

That's about it. Here is a photo movie. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDFs_TfYYVI
