Thanksgiving Weekend

We started the holiday this year at Woodward park in Manteca where the kids has a blast playing together. Later that afternoon we gathered at Jay & Cammy's house for our holiday meal. It was nice & cozy with 26 people in their house, but tons of fun. Notable events from Thanksgiving at Jay & Cammy's:

  • The turkey did eventually finish cooking, although we learned that foil + roasting oven = late dinner...
  • Jack tried to teach Lauren how to moon walk & Doug even gave it a try!
  • Jenny's new sweet potato recipe was a hit! I want that every Thanksgiving!
  • Sam learned he's from the projects in Oakland
  • We found that 26 people really CAN fit inside Jay & Cammy's house. :)
Here are some of the pictures:

According to Mort, this is his "good side"

I'm not exactly sure what Luke's doing, but it looks hilarious to me!

We all gathered together again on Saturday afternoon for Owen's 4th birthday party at the bowling alley and then at Doug & Kathy's for dinner. Notable events, besides Owen turning 4, of course:

  • These kids can really bowl! Several bowled spares and even strikes!
  • Tyson excitedly ran into Nana & Papa's house announcing the contents of his present.
  • BYU won in overtime against Utah while UCLA lost to USC.
Here are the pictures from Owen's party:
Chetan doesn't look too happy, but I love Owen's smile!

I love this picture! It's a classic shot of the family together at Nana & Papa's house.

  2. First-Johanna's hair looks great. Second-every time I look at these I want to cry. I mean it has only been 3 months, but these kids looks so much more grown up. Anupa-it is time for another one-Chetan is a big boy now-haha!!
