Cupcakes' first Thanksgiving

We had our second annual Thanksgiving tradition of celebrating at Hosoonyi, having too much Korean food. We were really happy to have had Michael jiujiu, Auntie Penny and Uncle Eric with us - yay, family!

Thanksgiving afternoon

Cupcakes and Mama visited Daddy's cubicle for the first time. Daddy had to get some work done on Thanksgiving, so we went to keep him company. Aww. . Daddy has two pictures of Mama and two pictures of Cupcakes at work.

Sunset from work

The Four Seasons Hotel is going up across the street from the WaMu Center. The view close by Mama's desk won't be entirely blocked after all.

Sunrise on bus 37

Daycare was closed the day before Thanksgiving. Ahgong and ahma came to the rescue on short notice. Mama got to take the bus to work from home and enjoy the sunrise from the bus.

Towel Beauty

Daddy put a little towel around Cupcakes' waist after the shower. She looked so cute!

Hangin' with Auntie Boo

Auntie Boo came over to visit on her day off. After Cupcakes woke up from her nap, it took about a grape's time for Cupcakes to warm up to Auntie Boo. Auntie Boo read to Cupcakes and walked with her.

The "dreamy effect" in the second picture was made possible by Cupcakes' drool on the camera.

Cupcakes starts to fashion her new winter wardrobe. . .and she's also talking a lot more this week.

The Big Penguin

We visited with Uncle Brady and Auntie Boo.

The four of us (without Uncle Brady) set out for Cobs Bread for a free loaf of bread with a coupon that Auntie Boo had. We ran part of the way with Cupcakes in the Baby Bjorn, and running set Cupcakes giggling. We got there a few minutes after closing. A lady mouthed, "I am sorry. We are closed." Mama pointed at the coupon in the window while Daddy stood out of the way out of embarrassment, and the lady mouthed, "We are out of that." A guy came out with two loaves of another kind of bread for consolation. We left, happy to have our hands full. Cupcakes held Mama's loaf all the way back to Auntie Boo's.

Auntie Boo brought out The Big Penguin for Cupcakes to admire. Cupcakes looked at it with awe and then started laughing. She had a great time playing with The Big Penguin.

After we left Uncle Brady teased Auntie Boo about not offering Cupcakes The Big Penguin. Auntie Boo was tempted. Uncle Brady suggested that we probably would not have taken it. We could not have taken The Big Penguin from Auntie Boo, and we have very limited space. We had a great time with The Big Penguin. Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle Brady and Auntie Boo!
