Happy Thanksgiving!

Well.. this was kind of a strange Thanksgiving day. Colin had a meeting all morning and did not get home until about 3pm. Thijs had his swimming lesson. Natalie was off school. It was the regular 33 degrees. Nothing different. We had ordered an imported Butterball Turkey with gravy. It just fit in the oven, since they are sooo small here (if you bake cookies, you can do 6 at a time). We had a nice swim with the kids in the afternoon. Ate the turkey, missed our family but are thankful for our experience here. Its also hard to get into the holiday spirit when the weather does not tell you its supposed to be the winter season. Oh, We totally forgot to take pictures of the turkey. We'll get them next time!

Imagine the looks...



if we would wear all our favorite things, together. Thijs wore the rainboots all day today. He found them in the back of the closet and had to wear them (it was sunny out most of the day and that makes it even more hot). The Bob the Builder underwear was found in the back of a drawer (since he is so not ready for them yet) but I could not refuse. He was so proud with the look he created. Since I wear my sunglasses all the time, he had to wear his too. Needless to say, he got some great looks as we picked Natalie up at the bus stop. And he kept lifting up his shirt to show everybody Bob the Builder. Priceless!
