christmas hols

it's definitely time to put up pictures/stories on christmas. (i always debate about whether to put up pics on FB or my blog - what a ridiculous dilemma to be in). i've practically been on vacation the entire month of december so it's pretty hard to get back to the swing of things. not to mention, i'm a little bored with my project right now. :p

so! my family came over for the last 2 weeks of december. it was really good to be able to see my parents for almost the entire month, and family from florida flew over too. 23 of us for christmas eve dinner!

my sister and i serving during dinner. rachel worked the lamb (she cooked it from scratch), and i handed out the ham (bought pre-cooked and pre-sliced). ham, lamb, jambalaya(!!!), chicken, sweet mashed potatos, kua (ohhhh i love the kua!), some brocolli dish, soup, lu dan (herbal tea egg), meatballs, pecan pies (courtesy of grace), brownies and a walnut banana cake.

on boxing day, we went snowboarding at tahoe!! :) did i mention i love snowboarding? I LOVE LOVE SNOWBOARDING!! (and i think i got my sisters to loved it too) :)

also went tubing (looks like the tube is made of gold)

and sledding. GEEZ look closely, it seems like grace is FLYING down this ridiculously steep mountain.

i miss my family :(
