Here's a photo of our Thanksgiving crowd (minus Aaron, at his usual place behind the camera). Aaron's medical school pal, Jason, and his girlfriend Olivia came. Aaron's parents, his brother Jared, and honorary sister Vania, were here for the weekend. I guess this was the first time my own kitchen hosted such a feast. With one oven, I don't know how people get the meal served all hot at the same time. We were fairly close to accomplishing that feat, but we had a bit of a turkey mishap that Aaron would appreciate me not bringing up. Let's just say Aaron was incredibly excited to cook a perfect bird (like he did last Christmas) but our ghetto oven didn't deliver. Poor Aaron. There was plenty of delicious food though, and the two types of stuffing we made still tasted good for lunch today, 5 days later.
The night after Thanksgiving, we went to Balboa Park with Aaron's family. From there, Rich and Jeannine (his parents) planned to take Seth home and babysit him for the evening/put him to bed, so Aaron and I could go on a date (hooray!). We went to The Darjeeling Limited, a movie we've wanted to see for a while. Halfway through the movie, we got a text message with a picture from Rich of the adjacent photo, with Seth on Santa's lap. It said "locked out and doing fine". It's horrifying to realize you've locked out your babysitters. Rich and Jeannine are really laid back and didn't fret, just showed Seth the time of his life. He stayed up quite late and loved it. Aaron and I couldn't really enjoy the last half of the movie, but we're still grateful for our half-date.

Hye is that at UTC, because i think i use to work with that guy when i was doing the photography for "Santa and me"! hey is the best Santa ever. Seth looks a little scared.
Lin & Aaron -- Seth may be the most photographed child in the history of mankind. He is a beautiful child, that coming from his grandpa, a very impartial observer.
Love,
Dad
