post thanksgiving

OMG !!! I ate too much during the thanksgiving holiday and when i got home i puked! Ugh !!! Well, after watching what i ate and controlling portions for the last year and a half, then all of a sudden here comes another thanksgiving day, it went downhill after that. I'm sure mostly everybody ate more than their stomach can handle. The food is just so good during the holidays- not to mention, christmas is next. Dang it !!! Lol !!...I will do better by then, and i ain't eatin' like crazy........ The turkey i made.(not too shabby for my being lazy)

My mixed berry cheesecake (from the scratch). It's better than cheesecake factory's =) I got the recipe from "The Barefoot Contessa".

And the russian tea cakes/wedding cakes.

Yeah, who could resist holiday foods right??? :-)..................................

All the foods aside, I am just so grateful about everything that I have right now. I am thankful for my Mom being in remission from cancer. (Both my parents were diagnosed with cancer on the same year-2005, a couple of months apart; though my Father is not with us anymore, because he succumb to his cancer in '06, but i am forever grateful to the Lord to have had him in our lives.) I am thankful for my brothers and sisters in the Philippines, though i don't get to see them as much as i want to , i know that they love me, and i miss them so much. And most of all I am forever grateful to God for letting me have the family that i've always dreamed of--

and

especially for our beautiful angel Lorelai and her very first Thanksgiving Day.
