November 23, we celebrated a traditional Thanksgiving at the church. It was wonderful! We had 25 people there, lots of children and really good fellowship. After the meal we had a short service in the church and then down again for dessert and of course we added a Swedish touch with a fun fact quiz (Swedes love to put funny quizzes into their parties). Looking around the room during our meal was really cool because we were truly and international bunch. We had several Swedes, and Americans of course. However, if you looked around you would also see families from the Congo and Ukraine, and of course we cannot forget our little Nepali. So all in all it almost felt like I was back at Prof. Lauter's house for Thanksgiving. Thanks to Sue Lauter we had lots of the traditional foods (thanks for the recipes mamma sue).
I have added a few pictures below. I had to get the pumpkin in at the end also. There are some traditions that have to stay even though you are in a foreign country and I love carving pumpkins (even though my Aunt Judy is way better at it than me).
We miss and love you all. God bless you and know that we are thinking and praying for you.
love,
Laurie
