HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Today is thanksgiving and it feels weird that I am not at home during this holidays, but it's okay cuz' I got to spend time with some of my family and Dev's family too. We woke up and I started to make some rice pilaf, I was going to make some for Dev's grandma's house and later for my dinner thanksgiving with the Chu-yangs and Kent.

We leave Dev's house around 11:45, because we have to be at Grandma K by 12. There was a ton of food, like most Thanksgivings. :) I met Dev's grandma, grandpa, Auntie, Uncle and 2 younger cousins, plus his Uncle's parents. We had everything for thanksgiving, turkey, gravy, prime rib, yams, beans, stuffing, salad, poke, sushi, shrimp and more. All I know is that after I was stuffed and wanted to take a nap. :D

Dev was bbqin' the shrimp outside.

Dessert! We had a bunch

After I had to pick up my family dinner at Kahala Hotel. It was pretty cool because it was like a drive thru, you tell them your name and then they load up your car. It smelled so good, so Dev and I dropped off the food at Kent's apartment, because we weren't going to start eating until around 6, it was 3. We chilled around his place before I had to drop Dev off at his grandparents house, he had dinner at his Uncle's house later.

The dining table

I wanted to make rice pilaf for the girls, because that's one thing that I thought I couldn't mess up too much. Haha. Jenn, Jon, Alyson and Kailyn got to the house a little after 6, in the mean time Kent and I got some duck and then started warming up all the food. When the Chu-Yangs got there we skyped Auntie Linda's house to see our family. It was nice to see them all...haha, it was weird though not to be home with them. It did look like there was a lot of food, like always and we definitely had a bunch of food in Hawaii too. We had the turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, veggies, veggie salad, duck, bread, rice pilaf, poke and some ocean salad. After dinner we were stuffed and I was still sleepy from lunch, but we started to watch Cars 2. That movie is pretty funny but I fell asleep during it. Haha. I only snoozed for a little bit, but woke up when the Chu-Yangs were leaving :) All in all, it was a nice and relaxing thanksgiving, I just missed my family bunch. The nice thing about it was that I wasn't hungover the next day! haha.
