Today, I woke up kind of late, around 10:30am. Tyler and I had to help mom, because she was having her first catering gig at Auntie Mary's house for her golf lady friends. There was about 15 of them, so we had to finish all the food and take it over for their lunch. Everything turned out great and my mom did awesome!

Grilled asparagus

Quinoa Salad

Salmon with Mango Salsa

Rice Pilaf

Red rice salad

Garlic/shoyu edamame and Peanut Chicken appetizers

Shoyu/garlic edamame (close-up)

Ended with a homemade apple tart

After dropping off the food, Mom, Tyler and I went to Chow to eat. I had minestrone soup, I wasn't too hungry, mom had fish and tyler had a chicken sandwich and caesar salad. I've been eating soup everyday, I think it's because it's sooo cold out here!

We then go shopping in Walnut Creek and knock out a lot of presents! Mom was definitely waiting for me to come home to be her little elf. :) It's been fun though, haven't seen my family in 3 months! We don't get done shopping until around 5 then head home. Tyler and I have a quick dinner and then he goes to the gym to ball. I then head out to the Boys and Girls club to attempt to play basketball too. It'll be the first time I see my friends since I've been back, I'm especially excited to see Remi!! :D

Basketball was fun, but then I realized why I should retire...haha I suck! LoL. There was around 11 of us and I was on the losing team...yes it was weak like that. :D I guess I should stick to "hiking" LoL. The upside of ball was that I got to see all my friends that I haven't seen in what seems like forever. It was just like old times though, I've missed them so much!!
