For Thanksgiving weekend, the Lau/Matsunaga family loaded up in Anthony's Sequoia "bus" and made the 14-hr road trip to visit us in Iowa. It was a very quick 3-4 days, but between all of our cameras, we managed to snap over 1,100 pictures.
After long deliberation, I narrowed down to 14 pictures to help summarize a fun holiday weekend with my family.
This time, the turkey was all on me! How nerve-racking, but my mom was right there to give me advice. Luckily, it turned out brown, juicy, and yummy. Thanks, Mommy!
Our Thanksgiving table
Skype is so nice, especially when you can talk and see family all the way in Vietnam on Thanksgiving day!
Fun times were a plenty, such as passing down the knowledge of how to make chocolate milk in a sippie cup. Elaine appreciated Ai-Yi for this lesson and took it to heart!
Our sibling self shot, in birth order...of course.
I guess Alex will have his wishbone wish come true. Sorry, Alysa! Better luck next year!
Let the Christmas crafting...BEGIN!
This is our Thanksgiving table after dinner. Yes, snacking on chips and looking at Black Friday ads. It's a serious addiction, but we can't seem to pass up the good deals!
Being one of the first 100 in line at Old Navy after midnight paid off...free Xbox game!
...which Peter and Cau Cau loved playing!
Yes, we even braved the crowds at Target for the few treasures we wanted. Funny how sleep deprivation will make you still feel successful after waiting in line for over an hour to check out. The chicken biscuit helped too!
Some glamour times with Pau-Pau, long lashes and lots of lip gloss!
Lots of bear hugs from Cau-Cau!
Through the turkey, Christmas prep, midnight sales, Thanksgiving was all about being thankful.I was VERY thankful for being with my family!
It's all about FAMILY!
