We are thankful for....

family, great food and no travel on Thanksgiving! We typically spend Thanksgiving at my grandmother's home in the East Bay. She is 85 and doesn't have the energy to have us over for the holidays any more so we went to spend the day with Hana's grandparents and her uncles who were home from school. It was weird not seeing Grandma but we loved that we could just pack Hana and all our goodies in the wagon and walk over to my parents' home. We had my little brother play photographer and attempted to get a picture of the three of us for our Christmas cards. After many attempts, we gave up.

Below is one of the pictures that did not make the cut.
We didn't think we would see Grandma this Thanksgiving but my brothers surprised us by bringing her here. It has been many years since she's been on our side of the Bay Bridge. We were so excited to see her and she loved being with Hana. Hana loved all of our Thanksgiving feast but her favorites were the homemade kimchee and the cranberry sauce.
After a full day of attention and non-stop eating, we bundled Hana up and headed home to put her to bed. Everyone joined us a bit later for dessert and conversation, without Hana trying to steal the spotlight. We must have had a lot to talk about because it was 12:30 am when we all went to bed!
