::Celebrating Thanksgiving

Friday, November 24, 2006

The 7,401 km distance between me and Randy didn't stopped us from celebrating Thanksgiving Day together online! In fact, we started it early right after we recited the rosary together, we watched the NBC's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Special held in New York from 9 am until 12 noon NYC time, via Skype video, while Randy was busy preparing ingredients for his special dishes. It was about 3 am (Manila time) when I was sleepy and decided to go to bed.

I had slept for few hours only and I cooked spaghetti and fried chicken strips. Paul Denise and Pearl were able to eat before going to school and I logged in at past 7 am. His laptop was in the kitchen while we're video chatting. I had thought to take some shots of what he's cooking without his knowledge:

Randy celebrated Thanksgiving Day with daughter Judy,
Judy's Carlos, his son, David, and of course,
I was online with them eating, too!

When the foods were set, each one of us shared three reasons why we're thankful and celebrating Thaksgiving Day. Then, we said the blessings and we all had fun eating.

Both Randy and I are looking forward to spend next year's Thanksgiving Day together. I hope everyone had a great one this year, Happy Thanksgiving Day!
