Thanksgiving Weekend 2017

For Thanksgiving we were lucky to have my mom, Jose, Erik, and Charlie, as well as Jose's best friend from high school, Dusty, Dusty's wife, Marie-Aimee, and their 5-month-old son, Hugo. Dusty had been working on a project locally, so Marie-Aimee and Hugo traveled all the way from LA to spend TG with him, and us! Adrian, Mom, and I all cooked for dinner and it was delicious. We had an early dinner followed by a little TV (and naps for some), then we enjoyed the new fire pit on the patio with s'mores!

Our Thanksgiving tradition is to get a Christmas tree on Friday. We have bought our tree at the same local garden center, Mahoney's, for the past 8 years and we've always been happy with their trees. Since we usually travel to VA for Christmas, we like to get our tree early so we have longer to enjoy it. It was fun to visit Mahoney's with Ninong, Tito Erik, and Lola. The kids get to pick one new ornament each year and Mahoney's has a fantastic Christmas section. I think the tree looks even better with the Filipino parol next to it!
