american thanksgiving comes to tyringe

sweden celebrates alot of holidays, many that we do not really recognize in the states. however, we just didn´t think there were enough so, we decided it was time to bring an american thanksgiving home. mormor invited us, farmor, and farfar over for a big thanksgiving spread.

here thomas is carving zoe´s turkey. we discovered that zoe loves turkey.

as you can see there was no lack of food, we had it all, turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing (three different kinds to suit all us picky eaters!), sweet potatoes, corn, fresh made rolls, salad, and even home made cranberry sauce. yum.

after dinner, we decided to add to the feastivities even more and decorate the christmas tree, as we are not going to be here for christmas, and we thought zoe would enjoy it, and enjoy it she did. she put nearly all of the ornaments on herself, and there were alot.

she was so good, you would have thought she was a professional tree decorated, she even got the angel to stick right on top on her first try.

and here we are for the family shot, all very full in our tummies, and ready for christmas.

it was a great thanksgiving, delicious food, delightful entertainment (zoe), and warm company. thanks for a wonderful evening mormor.
