First site of snow this fall.
Thanksgiving at Sunflowerlady’s place.
Yesterday, husband and I and the girls headed over to Costco to buy our very first digital SLR. Husband had been researching and debating between the Nikon D90, D200 and D300. Since he and I are not going to go professional anytime soon and just needed a nice camera for vacation and family shots, we settled with the D90. It is a nice camera and we have already begun experimenting! BTW, we are now able to capture shots of Kylie. She moves so quick that with the Sony Cyper Shot, we would miss her the majority of the time but now, she can’t get away anymore! Puahaha!
After that, we headed over to the Hmong New Year festival for some food and bought some papaya salad to take over to Sunflowerlady’s Thanksgiving dinner (she is a great cook!). For photos, go to my myspace.
The day before yesterday, Thanksgiving, we were at my parents for dinner with all the siblings, spouses, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It’s always wonderful to be around family. I had wanted to stay longer to play some games but the girls were getting tired and were using up the last bit of energy screaming and fussing so we had to leave. The girls fell asleep instantly on the drive home.
Husband (Josh) and I took the girls trick-or-treating Holloween night and the first house we went to was husband’s parents’. They didn’t know we were going to be there so we tried to surprise them by putting the two girls at the door, rang the doorbell, and stepped aside. Grandpa opened the door and Kida said, “Trick or treat!” Kylie doesn’t know how to say that yet since she is only a year and a half. Grandpa then gave Kida a handful of candy then he looked over at Josh and I and Josh said, “Hi Dad”. Grandpa didn’t know it was us so he continued with filling Kylie’s bag with candy. Then Josh said, “DAD”. Grandpa looked over at us again and said, “Oh! I didn’t know. I thought I heard someone say ‘Hi Dad’. I didn’t know it was you!” he then realized who the kids were and called Grandma to come over to the door. Josh and I were laughing so hard we were almost in tears. We ended up taking the girls around the block and returning to grandparents before heading home. Kida got to enjoy seeing all the ghosts and goblins at the door as she helped Grandpa pass out candy.
