Where do I begin? It was first discussed by family that we will be celebrating Thanksgiving holiday at my brother in law's place. One family was bringing ham, another would have some type of soup dish and egg rolls. The request was for us to make shrimp tempura as it was a hit during the Pacquiao fight. My cousin and his family were bringing dessert. Plans were slightly altered when Ted received a call from another cousin inviting ALL of us over for the holiday...the more, the merrier!
I skipped Black Friday this year. For those that don't know Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving (which always falls on the last Thursday of November). It is time of the year when stores offer the biggest discounts on electronics, housewares, clothing among other things. Instead of opening at 3 or 4 in the morning, stores decided to open at midnight. We decided to sleep in and put up our tree after breakfast instead, with the children doing most of the decorating.
Saturday found us going to Santi Alley in downtown Los Angeles. It's a market place where goods are sold at low prices. We have never been and just wanted to see what it was like. Matt got a remote controlled car, Ali got a pair of pretend eyeglasses and a toy dog while Sofi ended up getting a baby doll.
It was around 3 pm by the time we were done walking around, our late lunch was at nearby Philippe's Original for some french dipped sandwiches...YUM!
Sunday was just laying around, watching football on tv. After the busy few days, it is always nice to do 'nothing' :)
