We woke up Thanksgiving day and packed into the car. We were headed to California!
We arrived at Julie's house and settled in a little bit before heading to the Hong Thanksgiving dinner and family reunion. This year, our relatives from Northern California, Washington, New York and Pennsylvania joined us.
Derek shared a brief Thanksgiving message with everyone.
The food was delicious!
Our gathering was also to celebrate Auntie's 80th birthday.
Kyle devoured an adult-size piece of cake. It was so quick and we were both too distracted to stop him in time. He paid for it later in the middle of the night as most of the cake came back up.
The night ran long as we went through a slide show and reminisced about the old days. Kyle didn't make it to the end.
Although many of our aunts and uncles have gone on to heaven, it's great that we can still gather together as a family (60+ people). It's always good to catch up with everyone and to hear about what they are doing. We sure have missed celebrating every year with them and were thankful we could do it this year.
