Turkey Day came and went.. Finally back to work after 5 days and its actually not that bad.. I think I was beginning to get a littled tired of staying home:-)... We had a great Thanksgiving as usual.. I stayed home on Wed and baked a cheesecake - pumpkin .. Thursday - Turkey day, got up early to go to dimsum with the whole family at Jade Garden.. then we all headed over to Chef Liao's to check out his new house followed by dinner at Goo Goos.. I made a honey walnut, pear salad, my cheesecake and a fruit salad.. we had turkey, prime rib, egg rolls, chow mein, sticky rice, mashed potates and gravy.. brocolli salad and my salad.. lets see.. oh and some barbecue pork and barbecue ribs.. chinese style of course;-) I think we had close to 30 people.. I was hoping for leftover turkey but it was almost all gone:-(.. so we'll wait.. Christmas I might have to have Goo Goo make 2 turkeys..hehe.... so after dinner, Brian and I went home to relax..but the turkey didnt kick in so we went and did the midnight Madness Sale at the outlet mall up north.. INSANITY! never , ever will I do that again.. took us an hour to get off the exit.. had to park at the casino.. a line to get into the Banana store.. no thanks.. so we took off , got home around 2am..went to bed:-).. shopped on Friday and Saturday instead..

And what a way to end the holiday week - SNOW!!! yes, woke up to snow yesterday around 8am and it snowed all day.. I LOVE snow.. not sure what it is but makes me so happy to see it:-)I think we got close to 4inches when it was all said and done.. yes, 4inches isn't a lot but in Seattle, thats like 10 feet... Stanley had a blast slipping and sliding in the snow.. We hit the grocery just in case;-) but the roads cleared up enough for me to go to work today.. we'll see about tomorrow..another storm is supposed to come through tonight - Can't wait!
