Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We had such a nice Thanksgiving afternoon/evening at my parent's new home in Brentwood today. We had a nice size family meal of 13 - my parents, my Sis and Graham, Dick and me, my Auntie Lani, Uncle Rob, and cousins Kenneth and his wife Angela, cousin Cheri, and both of my Grandmas! Wallace also joined us for his first Chow Family Holiday! My parents (and their kitty, Nikolas) also surprised Wallace with a stuffed Turkey toy! :)

The food was amazing! Angela made lumpia (yum!) and brought shrimp, Mom made the turkey, and mashed potatoes, my Auntie made the mixed veggies, Dick and I made the stuffing and sweet potatoes and my sister made butternut squash soup and brought THREE (count 'em) desserts: pumpkin pie, banana cream pie and peach cobbler. SO yummy!!

I'm glad that I remembered to take photos today. There are some nice ones in here.

Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks to Mom and Dad for hosting. It was a really lovely day spent with family.
