🐓 10.23.25 - 10.24.25

Yesterday, Mom made chicken feet with pepper corn, celery, carrots, onions, chilli, and lemon for dinner. 

We had chicken feet on our last trip to Chengdu Sichuan.

We really liked it.

📸: The chicken feet look yummy.

This morning I had arts and crafts. I colored the house with balloons and colored the Elf. Then, I played the bean bag toss with my FCSN friends. 

We had a party at FCSN for one of the staff members, Anabelle’s retirement. There were lots of good party food. My favorite food at the party was cupcakes. There were orange and purple cupcakes. I ate the purple one.

📸: These are beautiful photos.

People thanked Anabelle for her long time work at FCSN. We were taking turns to take pictures with her.

We gave her best wishes for her retirement. We will miss her.

🎉 10.26.25

On Saturday Auntie Jen’s family came to our house for the October birthday celebration.

Megan, Dad, Alicia, Grandpa, and Auntie Dan Qing’s birthday are all in October!

Auntie Jen decorated the carrots and celery next to the chicken feet. We prepared broccoli, lobster, salad, duck, yams, brussel sprouts, carrots, and chicken drumsticks.

Mom cut the lobster in half.

After dinner I helped clean up.

We had a very small cake and still we were saving half for the next day because we were all health cautious and did not want to eat too much sweets. The food was delicious but we made more than we can finish.

I gave the headband with flowers to Alicia that I made in the flower arrangement class.

Auntie Jen took two persimmons from our backyard because Auntie Jen likes our persimmons.

My favorite activity was celebrating October birthdays and we have so many family members birthdays in October.
