thanksgiving

here are some pics from our thanksgiving. my mom has more, but you get the idea.

Here is ed making two pan gravys, although both were delicious. the second is our table minus the stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, and the pad thai. What is out there is the turkey, green beans, asparagus, brussel sprouts, shrimp cocktail. The third pic is ed carving our turkey. For the first time we brined the turkey over night and it ended up being better than usual. I highly recommend for anyone.

Giving Thanks

Here we are giving thanks to our family on Thanksgiving Day 2007.

One Love

An End is always a New Beginning...Welcome to: Chen Family in the U.S.

Today is Fri. November 23rd, 2007 - since my cousins in Taiwan already launched a CHEN FAMILY blog in Chinese, we thought we would launch one in English as well that would be more user friendly to my Thai relatives in NYC and New Jersey since they don't read Chinese - it'll allow us in California to upload faster and to show pictures faster to our family and friends. This whole family blogging fever began after the passing of our grandfather, Chen Yen Hwa, 49 days ago. Through his sad ending, a new beginning was also born as our entire family came together to celebrate his life and to continue making him happy and proud by bridging all of our generations together as he would have requested. This blog celebrates him - Chen Yen Hwa, the life he lived and the love he shared for his wife, 3 sons, 4 daughters, 14 grandchildren, his 10+ siblings, extended family and friends. Gon-gon, we miss you.

To The Chen Family, far and near: To bridge our Chen love and Chen family from this generation onward, I hope everyone can update and visit often to see how everyone is doing everywhere around the world.
