Thanksgiving Party

We invited some friends (most are Xiao's Chinese colleagues) to have a party at our house for Thanksgiving. If my memory serves me correctly, it's the first time for us to roast a turkey ourselves. The 12-pound bird turned out to be well cooked, at least looked golden brown, & plus it's very edible :P Yay!

There were about 15 people who came to the party. The party ran from 1 pm to 2 am ish. Cannot believe it lasted about 13 hours until I thought about it. We had two meals plus a couple snack & dessert times in between. I appreciate that people brought in their signature dishes to share. All were so delicious. We also played a few games together and had lots of fun! Hope we can do this more often :)

Puerto Rico vacation

Occasionally, you couldn't help wishing the time would freeze there for you (maybe just for a little few more moments). Apparently it will never cooperate on that.

I had to wave paradise and be back here to start another long chilly winter......
Well, speaking of paradise, here may be one for skiing...... hmmmmn, maybe not. But at least a very good place to learn skiing. Hope we can do it this winter.

Here are some Puerto Rico pictures. (Too lazy to add captions. Maybe later.)
