Recipe for an awesome Thanksgiving Break:
1. Cooking with the Master Chef, Ryan. I mean, who else cooks a turkey in a grill (and it comes out super succulent), cracks their own walnuts for chocolate-covered walnuts, owns a mortar and stone, grinds their own nutmeg, regularly shops at Persian grocery stores? Yep, my bro...
2. Eating a delicious, and I mean D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S Thanksgiving meal. With this awesome family.
3. Ping-pong Tournaments in the garage while jamming to sweet tunes.
4. Obnoxious levels of picture-taking ;) And my wonderful/hilarious/fun bro/sis-in-law.
5. Game nights. x 5. Complete with craze, exhibited on Ryan/Kie's face (look closely).

| new obsession: DOMINOS. Why did I never know about this game before? |
6. 70 degree weather and the beautiful beaches of Santa Monica...
7. Touring the streets of Los Angeles (I don't think I've felt this cool in years...haha)
8. Spending time with these three AWESOME people. Who I happened to be related to...
9. Eating out at a sweet Chinese restaurant in China town!

| TARO + Juliet! |
10. Picnics at the park complete with too many sunflower seeds, long talks, Frisbee and volleyball games, beautiful weather, homemade (gourmet) packed lunches.

| Love these kiddos! |
 |
| Ryan decided to throw sunflower seeds at us. And Kie, well, I don't know what she is doing ;) Haha! |
 |
| Me and my bro!! |
Love these photos and your comments! It looks like such a fun thanksgiving! It made me miss all of you and sunny weather, too!
ReplyDeleteps: I love the game faces. haha!
pss: I can't believe how beautiful that turkey is after having been grilled!
Lindsey, this post is so PRECIOUS!! I LOVE that you took so many pictures. Since we don't get to visit Ryan's family nearly as much as we would like to, it's a real treat to see these photos. It looks like you were treated to the royal treatment as we are when we visit them! So glad you got to make the trip!
ReplyDeleteYour dinner looks so good -- the turkey seriously looks like it came out of a catalog! The weather looks perfect -- love that you got to do a picnic over Thanksgiving! Game nights seriously look like fun. The kids are so cute! Glad you got to go!
ReplyDeletewow. That's cute. Seriously. I need to go visit them! But that would involve toting my whole family and kids. . . not sure if that would work. I love this! (angela btw)
