Thanksgiving...

Natalie had a short week in school so we had 3 days extra this weekend. Thanksgiving is a big family holiday over here so almost all stores, construction business, manufacturers etc. Give their workers an extra day off.

On Tuesday Natalie's class had a nice thanksgiving breakfast together with all kids in Kindergarten.  They made their own indian/pilgrim costumes and learned some song associated with this holiday.  On the afternoon they also performed on the stage when the younger kids at school had their Thanksgiving concert. So cute and talented children!

The Thursday we started with a nice breakfast at Cracker Barrel. They have good homemade food, maybe not the healthiest but anyway... Later this afternoon, we went to Grandpa Emmet for a traditional dinner. We had turkey, green beans, stuffing, mashed potatoes,  corn, gravy and homemade bread, pumpkin cake and mini apple pies for desserts. Emmet had cooked a good dinner! I can say we were stuffed afterwards...

This weekend we are also going to have a dinner at Grandma Rhonda's. I'll write more about that later. All in all Thanksgiving is a nice tradition with a whole lot of food...just like Christmas!

Speaking about Christmas. ..finally it's time to get ready for this holiday season!  Its like a secret rule of not decorate or do anything Christmasy until after Thanksgiving. If you have been loaded with Christmas music and decor from all the stores that started loooong time ago it almost feels like a relief...
