Thanksgiving Day a.k.a. Stuff Yourself DayWe had a wonderful time on this special day! We got to sleep in until 9:30 in the morning, then cleaned up the whole house because we were to have guests for dinner later in the day.At 1:00pm, all four of us went to Aunt Jean's friend's house at Hawaii Kai. They had a nice big house, and Reed (Aunt
Jean's friend)'s son happened to be a KCC student like us.He also had a cute black female dog named Benji. The big guy standing is Reed, and his son and his girlfriend are next to him. Because it was our first time to meet, they seemed really nervous at first!
We had lots and lots of food at Reed's house, and we stuffed ourselves full with turkey, mashed potatoes, salad, and other Thanksgiving dishes!

At 4:00pm, we went home and had less than an hour to prepare for our own church's Thanksgiving party at home!
After 5:00pm, people started piling in to our

house. Yury came first, then others like Ericson, Brandon and Christi, and Yoko. Ayumi, Naomi and Priscilla's cousin, also came to dinner because she was staying here on a business trip (she's the one in white on the left side).

We had tons of food since we'd made all kinds of dishes the day before, and Ericson brought turkey and home-made yam. So we stuffed ourselves full once again until we were close to bursting! After we finished eating...
we watched a movie! Christi and

Brandon had brought
Madagascar, which was really funny, though not as good as
Ice Age. The funniest, best characters by far are the four penguins.
After the movie, we played a game called "Cranium". It's a pretty interesting board game that makes each team answer a quiz, draw or sculpture something,


Here Ericson is found thinking but looking sleepy, Matt is pondering, and Erin is looking rather clueless.

Yoko and Naomi's dog... both about the same size!

Finally, everyone was too tired to do anything... just sat and talked.
All in all, it was a wonderful thanksgiving... thanks to everyone who came to dinner at our house!!
