Thanksgiving Holiday



(With W and family in Marriott Hotel)

We spent the Thanksgiving holiday with Simon's parents and cousin W and W's family in Napa. W and family are moving back to Singapore before Christmas, so we were happy to see them and say good-bye in person before they move back. Simon's parents just came back from a long trip to HI, so we had a more low-stress Thanksgiving dinner in Marriott.
Grandma and Grandpa decorated their house with Christmas deco so that they get to enjoy it for a full month until all the family come over to Napa for the actual Christmas celebration. I am bummed that S won't be there to open his Christmas gifts under the BIG Christmas tree. However, Simon and I agreed that he can not handle S all by himself for 2 weeks, so it's better that S goes back to Taiwan with me. Not sure if I should spoil the deco for D, L and K, but here it is: the big Christmas tree and deers!! Too bad I forgot to bring my camera, but Grandpa took a couple of pictures with us and W's family.
As S and I talked about the dinner, we realized how funny that things have changed now that we are parents. I can still remember that 5 years ago when I first met W and his family, their youngest daughter M was still a toddler. They spent most of their dinner time taking care of their kids. Fast forward, S and I were the ones spending most of the Thanksgiving dinner taking care of S, making sure he had enough to eat. I don't remember making any "adult" conversation during dinner.. I ( and W's kids) were then chasing S around the restaurant, because he was getting restless while W and his wife no longer had to worry about their kids..hahahaha... This give S and I hope- babies do grow up and become independent of their parents. However, sometimes I like Shaun the way he is... just a cute baby who still depends on his mommy for a lot of his needs.. sigh.. life is never perfect!! :)
