My Holiday

Ahhh I've been lazy! and there's a backlog of things. But here are the Holiday adventures.

Hope everyone had a Happy Holiday!


(I made these balloons for my brother!)


Dinner before Christmas eve @ Tender Greens in West Hollywood :









Christmas Eve:









Baked Bacon Chocolate chip cookies!


and made more chocolate!


The giant box was filled with the chocolates I made, and nutella (because I heard Mike's family never had Nutella!). I also placed balloons in the box, so when they opened the box balloons would float out and it would be magical (and it was)!

I spent Christmas Eve + day with the Allens. I met some of Mike's extended family on Christmas when we visited his Grandma (she called me sweet awww).

Gifts -

I don't really expect anything on Christmas, but I got things this year and I'm thankful!

1. Brother got me Scott Pilgrim
   
2. Mike got me a screen printing kit & a gun book (for art references, and for zombie apocalypse prepping). He knows me so well! ♥ I got him a new pc controller, and a chocobo plush.
3. Mike's family got me a cat book mark & a Barnes & Noble gift card!
   
4. Mike and I treated ourselves haha.

I think we may be going to Vegas for New Years Eve!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving

Opps. I've been busy, and a bit lazy to edit images. So, there's a line of random adventures.

I guess I'll start with the most recent thing, which was Thanks giving! I hope everyone had a nice one. I actually did something this year, and spent it with Mike's family (kind of).

Mike always joked (or maybe he was serious) about never letting me see his house, so I never really expected him to invite me.

We were actually eating at Mr. Ramen last week when this conversation happened:

He eventually invited me to Thanksgiving dinner with his family, and to be "American" (joke, because I'm Asian). I was all sunshine and bubbles while waiting for him to ask! haha.

He had beef ramen btw!

And I had chicken & bamboo ramen.

I was so nervous meeting them. I decided to make truffles, 'cause I think sweets are a safer way to go... since I'm not sure if they'll like anything else I cook.

Crushed oreos! I have one of those crazy Blendtec blenders. They're amazing!

Tempering chocolate always scares me... because something always goes wrong. I really need a thermometer...

A cute container to place the chocolate.

Finished products! Well...atleast the nicer looking ones. I kept the "rejects" for my family to eat.

Two tiers of chocolate!

They didn't touch it when I was there, so I was afraid they didn't like it. They actually ate all of them within the 4 hours that Mike & I weren't there! I'm surprised they even ate the matcha ones!

Mike told me that his mom said I should make more for Christmas. Yay, possible acceptance???

Oh, and Mike & I saw this while driving to his place. Har har... I actually did go see Harry Potter, but that'll be another entry.

I'm sad the Thanksgiving break is over... There's 3 more weeks of school though, so winter break will be soon! But, before that there's finals and thus, it is now crunch time :(.

Sleep time!
