Today is Korean thanksgiving day so I invited a few of my in-law families over for a simple dinner.
So today we went to church in the morning, then went to the city, then came home, went  grocery shopping then cooked for 10 people.
Man, it was a busy day!
Pumpkin and apples from yesterday.
What a great weekend!
too cool for words…
Squid ink risotto balls with spicy shrimp. So yummy!
Eating coconut curry shrimp empanadas.
Duck bun
Rock shrimp
Spicy ketchup + jalapeno mustard  hotdog
Pistachio cannoli
After eating we went to the playground to play!
All that picking activities made us hungry!
Eating ssam.
It’s true that since Shane was born, Andrew’s birthday has been overshadowed…Â So I tried to make something special tonight.
Baby back ribs with forbidden black rice.
Chloe decorated the cupcakes.
Happy birthday partner!
I was so exhausted after the party. Not to mention, our house was a mess from all the left over props/food/presents. I was trying to clean the house while the kids were making a bigger mess by opening all the presents. There was wrapping papers and toy boxes everywhere. After hiding some of the presents in the basement, I decided to take the kids out of the house for the sake of my sanity! Oh yeah, the hubby came down with a cold and he was in bed all day too. Boo.
So we went to Family fun day event and met up with a few friends.
My friend came to my rescue and graciously invited me and the kids over for dinner. Thank goodness…a hearty meal. I didn’t have the strength to make dinner and didn’t want more delivery food after yesterday.
Delicious home made favorites!
I also found out that they were also celebrating birthdays. More cakes!
Thank you for your kind hospitality! We truly are so thankful for your friendship in Christ. Thank you Sang family & happy birthdays to you guys too!
Wife, Mother, jewelry designer &
graphic designer /Creative Director, I am HaeWon Cadence Ryu. This is a glimpse into my life’s blessings, passion and inspiration.
This blog came to fruition after I began motherhood; I wanted to be able to capture every millestone of my two beautiful children - Chloe & Shane as they journey through their early years. Since the launch of my online jewelry site, cadencelee.com, I’ve come face-to-face with having to juggle multiple roles. As a result, I have decided to feature some of my designs and inspiration alongside postings of my precious family. For me, this is the perfect medium of work-life balance.
