Thanksgiving 2012

Today is Thanksgiving...only it's not.  The kids went to school, stores were open, I didn't eat turkey and there was no pumpkin pie.  Instead of cooking, baking and feasting,  some friends and I went to one of the Christmas markets that opened today in Essen.  My first German Weihnachtsmarkt experience!  Lots of trinkets, food and drink.  I had a not so good lunch and a delicious dessert (a warm crepe filled with cherries and vanilla pudding - mmm!).

Our Thanksgiving dinner - enchiladas.  My kids' faces tell you how they tasted!

Thankful for this happy face!


We'll celebrate Thanksgiving with friends this Saturday with a dinner at the church.  I'm looking forward to all of the delicious food!
