FAMILY PORTRAIT

We had our family portrait taken by a professional photographer in September.  She is still not finish with working on the set but had agreed to send me a few pictures of the kids so I can work on our Christmas card.

Thanksgiving-2010

Two turkeys, a ham, tons of stuffings, two different dishes of yam, mashed potatoes, salads, green beans cooked to perfection,  oven fresh biscuits, orange cranberries, homemade pumpkin cake, pumpkin pie and a very pregnant host make a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving at the Rinks!

We have so many things to be thankful for this year-our happy and healthy kids, our family and friends and a home that's filled with LOVE and LAUGHTER!

Tai got some new winter clothes and he loves modeling them!  He is actually posing for the camera now.  Such a ham!

Tai Luu counting his loots-forget the candies he went after the gold coins!

A very tired monkey!
