Visiting St. Jacob's...

We headed out to visit St. Jacob's today. It was a very quaint place and I always enjoy looking around such small towns. We even saw Mennonites on our way home!

Family portraits with the inlaws!

For my mother-in-law's birthday, we decided to have our family photo taken. They haven't had one done in a long time, and with the addition of their 'golden seed', it was the perfect time to do it! 

Below are some of the shots that were taken:

A busy Saturday!

Jacen and I headed out to Di's house first thing in the morning for a breakfast play date with Ken, Lilli and Camilla. The kids all got along while the adults had an interesting conversation about child habits!

Next stop was picking up Saads and then heading over to Wah Sing to meet up with Ev, Mel and Mae for a lovely and yummy lunch! Mae brought a Caramel Crunch cake to celebrate Mel's birthday for after our meal - perfect dessert! It's always nice to meet up with the gals, and over such a good meal!

We then headed to my uncle's house for a bon voyage party! All the aunts, uncles and cousins were there to see off my aunt and uncle who will be living in the Philippines for the rest of the winter season... so jealous! Have a good trip Tita and Tito! All of my relatives got such a kick out of Jacen doing 'pretty eyes', they were asking him to do it all night!

It was such a busy day... both Jacen and I were pooped and ready for bed by the time we got home!

Our Thanksgiving weekend...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! There are lots to be thankful for and I hope you all had a great long weekend, especially with the awesome weather we had. Saturday, we met up with Ron's friends for some dim sum and then we walked around Pacific Mall for a bit to walk off all the food we ate! Sunday, we met up with my family to pick some apples. It was Jacen's first time, and I love seeing him reacting and seeing new things. We then headed to my sister's house to eat, which is where we stayed until Jacen's bedtime. Monday, it was off to have Thanksgiving lunch with the in-laws. There was so much food, that I was fighting taking a nap on the couch after our meal. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Birthday Lolo!

We celebrated my daddy's birthday today at Matsu Sushi, an all-you-can-eat Japanese and Thai restaurant. As always, my fam jams are quite 'loud', and this celebration wasn't any different. The food was alright, but I've had better.

I just realized this weekend was definitely a food eating kinda weekend! I think I need bigger pants. :P

Food truckin'...

My sister Sarah and my niece Aleenah came with me to check out the food truck festival at the Distillery tonight. It's the third time they've had one of these food truck festivals this year, so I thought I'd check out the hype. It was COLD out tonight, but that didn't stop us from heading out to eat (a night out is rare for me these days!). It was packed! We split up and lined up at separate trucks to try and maximize the food eats we could try... yummy! I was, however, disappointed with the Cupcake Diner truck. The cupcakes weren't anything to brag about...so disappointing. Mel- your cupcakes were totally better - let's start a food truck! I'll drive... hehe.
