On Wednesday, I worked from home and we did a bunch of prep work. Dado and Miles became fast friends while Mom and I chopped onions and made persimmon pudding.
On Thursday, we walked in the morning and spent a wonderful time at the park. It seems like everyone was there while Turkeys cooked to give their kids a chance to stretch their legs. We got home, put Miles down for a nap, and put our turkey in. I did a meal out off Sunset magazine. While everything was good, we did overcook the turkey - but we couldn't have been the only ones!
On Friday, in a somewhat rainy day, we went to the Coi ponds at the Japanese tea garden in San Mateo. Afterward, the 5 of us went for Dim Sum (yummmm). In the afternoon, we headed over to Coyote Point Park, a small museum under the flight pattern of SFO near the San Mateo Bridge. It was a super busy day, but we avoided the rain and had a wonderful time.
On Saturday, we relived a bit of my parent's early parenthood and headed back to the Oakland Zoo. The last time they were there, I was a tot. It turns out to be the perfect place for little people Miles' age. He ran up and down the hills, saw all the animals, petted goats, and road the train. We left knowing that we will be back soon.
On Sunday, we went down to church in Menlo Park and then for brunch at my Aunt Patsy's. Miles was great through the music part of church (following each song with a "YAAAYYYYYY!"), but got a little restless with the sermon. He also thrived at lunch and has been on an eating binge ever since. Aunt Patsy gave him a Christmas sweater, but he was most thrilled by the wrapping paper that when empty, he wore as a hat (and looked a little like the Wendy's girl). All in all, it was a wonderful week. I got a nap most days, but was still a little tired going into the week of work - but then I am tired on any given day....
Some photos of the events!
