Thanksgiving and Pot Luck

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We spent the day eating turkey, ham, and American and German sides with some friends from church at Rey and Denise's house. We missed seeing our families, but had a good time. Most Germans celebrate a thanksgiving but it is in October, their harvest time, so all of the German stores were open for business which was good because we needed to stop by IKEA. Both the ham and turkey were grilled on the grill. This was probably due to the fact that most German ovens are smaller than American ovens. For example, only our smallest cookie sheet fits in our oven.

Today we had our monthly church pot luck at our house. Marisa made chili and corn bread. We finished decorating our little Christmas tree last night and are looking forward to the Christmas season and plan on visiting lots of Christmas markets in Germany and surrounding countries. There is a Christmas market we found out in a cave in the Netherlands that we plan on visiting soon.

We hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving.
