感謝祭 / Thanksgiving

昨日は、Thanksgiving だったので、おうちでThanksgivingのディナーを作って食べました。普通はターキーを食べるのですが、うちはチキンにしました、２年くらい作ってみたけど、ちょっと大変なので、今年は出来合いのものを調達です。グリーンビーンキャサロール（インゲンとクリームスープと乾燥たまねぎを混ぜてオーブンで作りました）、クランベリーソース（クランベリーを煮て砂糖と混ぜたもの）、後はマッシュドポテト（ポテトにバター、生クリームなど混ぜて作ります）なかなかの味で、量もちょうどいいくらい、サラもたくさん食べてくれてよかったです。家族みんな健康で幸せに過ごせ感謝したいと思います。 We had Thanksgiving at home yesterday. We made green bean casserole,cranberry sauce,mashed potatos. (we bought chicken this year..) Sarah likes all food especially cranberry sauce :) We made green bean casserole for the first time this year.It was real good!We had a great day and are very thankful that we are all healthy and happy!

シアトルは雪です！ / Snow in Seattle

日本から帰国しもうすぐ１週間、とーっても寒いとは思っていたけど、シアトルに初雪が降りました。時差ぼけのなおってないサラは、土曜の朝降った雪は見逃したけど、今日はたくさーん積もって雪遊びをしました。最初は、すごーく不思議そうな顔をしていたけど、その後はごらんの通り、とっても楽しそうでしたよ～！ It has been almost 1 week since Sarah and Mommy come back from Japan trip. We felt so cold and now we got some snow.wow! Sarah has bad jet lag so she missed Sat. morning snow but she enjoyed snow today! She was curious at first but she enjoyed playing with snow very much!

Zoo

we went to Zoo last Sunday!Sarah has been to zoo once in Seattle but she didn't see much animals at that time because it was with other kids and played outside most of time so it was Sarah's first Zoo!She loves animals very much and had a great time. After zoo, There were Maya's Dance performance at Zoo flower garden so we all went to see her dance. She did real good job! Sarah was dancing with them and seems she was into it too :) Rui had to go basketball game so she couldn't come to zoo but we all went to Chinese reataurant together! It was Yummy! We had a good time but we miss Daddy so much as always!!! We wish daddy was with us...

Park / shopping

We went to farmer's market and park the other day. She loved the park and she enjoyed it so much! We went to farmer's market after that. There are so many different kinds of stuff and so much fun to see it too. We bought some foods for taking back to make good dinner. Please wait for it Daddy!!

We also went to shopping mall after had a nice Sushi at restaurant the next day. It was delicious! She was running around at the mall and looking around and touching stuff! We had a good time!/div>

We had a nice Temakizushi (Sushi) as our traditional dinner! We had a great time! We wish Daddy is with us. We miss you Daddy!!!

Japan trip first 2 days

Sarah and Mommy are in Japan now. Sarah did good on long flight from Seattle and she is doing good in Japan too. However The flight from Seattle to Tokyo was 10 hours so long..... She read baby books, played with stickers and watched DVD she cried couple time when she was so sleepy and arrivals but she did great job!

People were so helpful. Some Korean people helped my carry on bag go into airplane and entertained for Sarah even though flight attendant weren't nice...they looked us out with their food court to not us to come in their area especially when Sarah cried..... One of maybe British or American guy helped and talked Sarah a lot when she wasn't in good mode when we need to wait for long line for connecting flight to Nagoya. Flight attendant from Tokyo to Nagoya was nice. One of Asian (Malaysia?? type) women helped my carry on bag and backpack to outside of airplane. Japanese lady picked up my 2 heavy suit cases for us at Nagoya baggage claim.

We are so happy to see so many nice people!!

We still have get lag but we are having good time. My parents are so happy to see her. They think she looks like Daddy :) It is so funny to hear who look like. I never hear when I am in U.S :)

We Love you daddy and miss you!!!!
