Our Thanksgiving celebration

We love Thanksgiving! It’s always a great time for us when we are with family. And when we are away from them we like to invite some of friends over for lots of food and a fun time.  When we lived in Moscow, we had two big Thanksgivings with our friends.  This year we wanted to keep it going, so here are some shots from the evening we had.

We found a turkey (they are very hard to get here and expensive!) This one was from France and was only about 6 pounds.

A cold winter day

Sometimes when it is really cold and mommy is really tired, I dress the girls up in their winter gear and let them play out on the enclosed balcony.

Sometimes we decide to head outdoors to get some fresh brisk air and play on the playground.

And sometimes we get to meet new friends at a nearby kids play area.
