Holiday: Thanksgiving 2011

This thanksgiving, it was all about the dogs. A year or two ago, my dad calls me and tells me that this really cute puppy had wandered into our family's business. Since everyone in our family are big animal lovers, i already knew my dad wanted to keep her. My fobby parents took her home and named her puppy. Yeah. That's right. Puppy. As caring as they are, they aren't the most responsible dog owners. They don't do routine vet visits and let her go out and about as she pleases. My sisters and i lecture them all the time and i even tried to scare my mom with stories of her puppy being taken away but they don't really care. Puppy soon grew up and met a boy. It was kinda cute cos her and the boy dog really looked like thet were dating and were always hanging out. It wasn't too long until my mom told us that she thot puppy was preggos. Seriously?!? Puppy had her puppies and my crazy mom decided that she was gonna keep ALL OF THEM. How many puppies were there? Little puppy had SIX puppies. It was kind of hard to blame her cos any of us would have done the same if we were in her shoes. I want to say that the pups are now about six months or so. Puppy and her boyfriend are still together. So for thanksgiving, my sisters had the grand idea of bringing all the puppies to our house. I was worried that tino and neo would be mean to them but i think they were caught off guard and overwhelmed and knew that they were outnumbered. Everything was a lot calmer than i thot it would be. I was super tired from preparing food the night before as well as the day of so i didn't play with them all too much. But they are so cute. Three of them are shy and three are a little more outgoing. They all look really different too. I didn't make a lot of dishes but it still took forever for things to be ready. I marinated chicken wings and some pork ribs which big poppa grilled up. I also tried making these cute baked mac and cheese in the shape of mini cupcakes that i had at hummus's bday party. They weren't as good. The last few things i made were some seasoned potato wedges and some crostinis to make bruschettas. My mom fried up some eggrolls cos i always want eggrolls. For dessert, my aunt brought over her famous tirimisu. It was so good. I know i'll be having a little everyday until it's all gone. That night, the plan was to head over to the outlets on 290 for some shopping but we just didn't feel like making the long drive. Instead, we headed on over to meyerland and then the galleria around 1am. The line at best buy and old navy were loooong. The checkout line at target snaked all the way to the back of the store. Big poppa and i walked around trying to see what items people were willing to wait in that long line for. The checkout line at urban outfitter's was also super long. The only thing that i ended up buying that night was a gingerbread latte for big poppa and a mocha latte for me.
