Thanksgiving

It is weird to think that last year, I was still in mommy's tummy and only the size of an avocado. This year, I weighed almost as much as our turkey did! I had a really great day and loved watching my mommy make Thanksgiving food. I heard mommy complaining a lot that she was having a hard time cooking since she couldn't taste any of the food since mostly all the side dishes had milk or butter. She tried eating some yummy breadsticks from Pat and Oscar's the day before, and while the butter they were covered in tasted DELICIOUS, it did not do wonders for my tummy for the next three days. =( Unfortunately my tummy still cannot tolerate any dairy. Mama has been able to start eating bread again, which has been very exciting for her. Anyways, back to my point....I got very tired by the time it was dinner, so I took a nap while everyone ate and woke up shortly after to have my first tastes of ham (no turkey cuz mama used butter.) Mama's dinner consisted of ham, cranberry sauce, and a baked sweet potato. I know that nursing me has been very hard, but I'm really glad mommy hasn't given up.

I had a lot of guests for my first Thanksgiving: Mema, Grandpa Rai, my Lui uncles: Jon, Kenny, and Vincent, Kenny's girlfriend Alice, and family friends: Quan, Kennon, Sheri, and Kennie. I was very sad that my Kapuna, Vovo, Uncle Mike, and Uncle Gary couldn't make it down since kapuna's stupid job made him work. My GongGong and PoPo were on a trip so I didn't get to see them in person either. Fortunately for technology, I was able to Skype with my grandparents. It was nice to spend part of the day with them still, even though they couldn't be here. They were missed very much! I really hope that by Thanksgiving next year I can have a piece of custard pie!!!!
