Happy Holidays! I’ve been doing a lot of sweet holiday stuff lately and feeling like blogging it–so here goes. We’ll have to rewind a bit…like to Thanksgiving. (Let’s see how far I get.)
Thanksgiving was nice and a much needed 4-day weekend. Rather than go into specifics, here were the four themes:
Food

My mom’s pancit for the annual Thanksgiving party
Seeing the Fam

The cousins on our annual Thanksgiving post-eating/napping walk
Cousins in Seattle

Took mis primas to the center of the universe to meet the Fremont Troll
Night out with Friends

There was also visiting Jen’s family, Rock Band, dinner at a casino, and Black Friday Super Mall shopping in there too, but didn’t have representative pics for those. In any case, it was a great way to kick off the Christmas season.
While in Germany, I stayed about 3 days in Tübingen, the university town that Val is studying at this semester. Besides teeming with college students, I soon learned that the streets there are filled with chubby-cheeked, blond, blue-eyed babies, and a disproportionate amount of people carrying ice cream cones. No, really. It’s rather bizarre.
It was generally wet while I was there, except for our last day, which incidentally was my favorite. We rented a paddle boat on the Neckar river, had a picnic, and later went to a grassy area to read Harry Potter. So this is what vacation is about.
