Thanksgiving 2008

This Thanksgiving, we had a lot to be Thankful for. My parents came to join us all the way from Utah.  Joining us for the wonderful meal were some former colleagues and students of my parents in China, who are now here studying in Texas. Mao May, He Yan, and Li Tong are in an MBA program at the University of Houston, Victoria. Hong Mei is a student in our PhD program at UTSA. Also joining us were our friend Francesca and her daughter Soriya. Cathy and Josh, and their new adorable baby daughter Soriya stopped by earlier.

Phal made an amazing meal with the help of my Mom and Hong Mei. Tong entertained us with his guitar and gave Catherine and Michael a guitar lesson. Everyone enjoyed looking over our photos from China and Cambodia. 

The day after stuffing ourselves, we participated in the ancient American tradition of waking up early to hit the after thanksgiving sales. Tong and I came home with new MacBook computers from the Apple store. May and Yan came back with a bag of new clothes.

Family, friends, delicious food, and shopping. Thanksgiving doesn't get any better than this!

The ham looks delish. Ham..something we don't have here. But the beef bacon is good.
Sounds like you all had a good Thanksgiving.
