Thanksgiving weekend

This past weekend, we invited our Chicago friends who now live in Sweden, over to our house to celebrate Thanksgiving. Since this is not holiday in Sweden, we had to celebrate it on Saturday instead of Thursday. It was great to see everyone, and the food was awesome! I made turkey with stuffing for the first time in my life, and have to admit, that it was good (I know you shouldn't give yourself praise, but what the heck...) Sandra made some awesome pies (pecan and pumpkin), Elin made fantastic sweetpotatoes, and Paula made mashed potatoes that were creamy and delicious. She also made homemade cranberry sauce that was so good that even Derek ate it (and he is not a fan of cranberries). Of course we the other fixins such as greenbeens, corn and bread... it was a funfilled evening with babies too. Noelle was the oldest, and took the mature part over Selma, 6 mts, and William, 2 mts, and belly, 24 wks.

The day after, D, N, and I took a walk in the woods with Matt, Sandra and William. Much needed after the feast!
Sandra with William, and Derek with Noelle, both babies sound asleep. Note the difference in size. Can you ever imagine that our little girl was that little? Time really flies!

Derek carved the turkey. We forgot to take picture of it...
Noelle has eight teeth now, but I don't think you can see them...
