xmas eve, i think i was a bit tipsey from wine...

we went on the walk with monica, ritch, daniel, nate, deedee and i. the boys were skating on the path and here is some very exciting video ;) of them skating.

merry xmas! hope everyone is having a good holiday season with your family!

i thought i'll share with our unusual tacky xmas tree, we put lots of toys that we bought in Japan as ornaments with this crazy silver tree we got from urban outfitters. Loverly huh? ;)

here is very happy looking family. nate is so tall now like 6'2" and he is so skinny...

here is us + deedee opening xmas presents.

we went to buena vista, irish pub one block away from the giradarlli square and had some irish coffee. this pub is known for the irish coffee and seriously everybody was drinking the irish coffee! it was very strong but was yummy tho ;) and yes, here is the pic of our shoes of the night! (thanks to vanessa for this pic).

we went to ghirardelli square after the party and walked around a bit.

after the party, we also went to union square to take some festive pics. the tree was really tall and as you can see, macy's has tons of lit up wreaths in every window, saks 5th avenue had cute snowflakes dangling. it was pretty!

we went to company xmas party at san francisco marriot tonight. there's a picture of me, vanessa, and kobie (general manager/our boss). we won the raffle, got a red 4gb ipod nano, and $50 american express cash card!! yay! the food was good but we were still hungry after we ate. there were only salad, chicken/mashed potatoes, and dessert.

daniel's never ending toy collection, we had few new faces in his collection recently, the 8" blue "tado" dunny with his army of 3" dunnies in front (the crazy thing is these are not all that he has, these are daniel's "carefully selected collection" being displayed next to the TV). picture on the left, the 8" kozik "red rum" dunny, 3 labbits making cute pyramid ;) and the 8" red "doma" dunny. i'm pretty sure they'll be more to come in the near future. on the other side it is crazy that i know the names/designers of pretty much all of them... what does that say? pretty much this d's toy collection is rubbing off on me and it is simply crazyness!!

this post is for kate who didn't have chance to see it before when she was in town! yes, we finally went and it was very small than i thought it would be. i was expecting to see them actually making the bag in one of the room and stuff, but there was nothing like that...

we finally mowed the lawn today, we went to Lowe's and bought a cheap push mower ($89) and a rake ($ 6.89). the front yard was easier and smaller but the backyard tooks us a while to do. but it definitely went fast since we had a crew with a help of ed! it probably took us about 1hr 30 mins to do it all.

here is our thanks giving dinner with two of us. it was very simple dinner but it was good.
we got the roasted chicken ( i know, it wasn't turkey but didn't make us tired ;) from grocery store, soup, salad, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy.
