Thanksgiving Recap
My oh my, what a day! After waking up at 10am and lounging about/working/napping, we (The Parks Family, Great Aunt Nancy and their Thanksgiving surrogate child - me) welcomed Fox and Jean for dinner. Originally from Beijing, we had a great time chattering on in Mandarin and talking about how China has changed over the last twenty years. Then it was dessert time, which meant a solid 24 people arrived, including a wild brood of 10 kids. It was just like holidays at home - chaotic, crowded and wonderful!

Happy Turkey Day!
Just a quick happy thanksgiving to all those US readers, and a special shoutout to all those Americans living abroad. I was in China last year at this time and I have to say, it's definitely strange to be in a foreign land on a big US holiday (though the giant American party at the Brit's house (Lianne, I love you!) definitely helped. A few pics from that festivities follow:
