Mom,
I just back from my mentor family's home!!
We picked up the (real) Christmas tree from the Christmas Tree Farm!! The farm's regulation is: people can choose any tree they want, cut it down, pay and finaaally bring their-dream-tree home! Plus one extra free cup of hot chocolate ;)
 |
| I don't know there are this much kind of pine, MOM! I bet you know them well tho ;p |
 |
| Looks good? :) |
 |
| Mike is cutting the tree |
 |
| Finally :) |
 |
| Couple of Granpa and Grandma picked their three :) |
After that We went to Hallmark, a special store for greeting cards, paper party, gifts, wrapping paper, ornaments and decorative items for home etc etc. Felt like I was in heaven! And I imagined your face MOM! You must be really happy if you were there. The idea to visit Hallmark came from the second daughter of Grady's, the lively Aina... She wanted all of us to pick an ornament for decorating the Christmas tree.. and any ornament I choose will be mine! It was SO FUN. Finally I chose a transparently silver cross... So nice :) And regarding your order, some people said that the best time to buy ornaments is after Christmas! Definitely! :p All will be on SALE. So, I decided to buy them sometime after New year ;) OK Mom? mwah :*

| Paap :) |
 |
| Moooooom :) |
 |
| I picked this! My 2011's ORNAMENTS!! :) |
 |
| GOSH! I can't believe the TWILIGHT stars are also CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENTS!! and can you see behind them are Harry Potter's?? haha.. Cutee... Fiona bought this twilight one, one of its biggest fan so.. :) |
 |
| MOM!!!! |
When we arrived home, we started to decorate the trees, while waiting for the Turkey roasted. I was a lil bit sleepy and felt a sleep several time in the couch, since I was staying up late for BLACK FRIDAY -- until around 4am in the market place. I bought couple pairs of boots for winter, couple jeans, a hat, leg-warmer, and socks... all for winter. And yeah new memory card! My old one was broken. That's why I didn't take any pictures lately... :( too bad.. :x I didn't buy so much things (although they were really tempting since I don't have too much money and NEED to save some for winter trip :p)
 |
| Before :D |
 |
| my ornament is hangin' near the twilight-erz! Bella, Edward Jacob! wkwkkwk |
 |
| AFTER :D yihayyy The ornaments are the kids collection since their first year born |
 |
| My Santa's sock! Being part of family is the sweetest! :) |
But anyway, finally we decorated it together! It really really reminded me about our time decorating the Xmaz tree when we all were together... huks... This moment also reminded me to the Children of Tamong.... Last year, with the kids we were decorated the ornaments for the simplest ever Christmas tree ever in Tamong Village's church during our mission trip.... The Christmas tree was made from Banana Tree's trunk and some leaves... (see the picture..) the glowing ornaments are our hand made only by some simple glowing paper BUT IT WAS AMAZING! :')
Well, after finished decorated the tree, we gotta wait a lil bit before the turkey ready to serve. And I felt a sleep for a while (again) in the couch. Geez. When finally the dinner was ready, I was starved enough and I DID EAT A LOT. The turkey was my 4th turkey for this year's thanksgiving, and for me it was the BEST for the taste, so hommie made and nymaaooooieee...! Chicken?? nothing! haha. Maybe because I was so starving and made it tasted so much delicious! haha. We had some other American traditional thanksgiving foods, such as mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, the gravy, corn, bread, etc etc.. As you see in the pics :D Yammie? Absolutely! ;) AND THE DESSERT: Pumpkin pie. Again, home made! Hmmmmm...... the crushed part! crunchyyy!! nyammie!! bestest! ;)
We ended the nite with watching movie together, a cartoon movie "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" BUT since I was so sleeeeeeeeeeeepy I only watched the first half and felt a sleep again until Mike woke me up and asked me if I wanna go home or not? I woke up and straightly answered "oh.. yes maybe.." with a big silly smile. bwahhahahaha... I am sorry :( I was so sleepy.... Finally I said good bye to the kids and Kate, and Mike drove me home. And here I am writing the blog before forget or become too lazy to write.... :D
Happy Thanksgiving all :D
and special thank you for the amazing Grady Family with the food, companion and hospitality :) I had so much fun with you all... Thank you :)
