I have decided that by far the hardest thing about being over here is (no, not having Braums is not the answer) missing out on holidays with my family. I was truly not looking forward to the holiday season this year as I normally do, but thankfully I am blessed with wonderful friends and family on this side of the pond and ended up having a wonderful time. We had 13 people total at our house for Thanksgiving. My house is not at all large crowd friendly, but with a little creativity we managed to configure the tables so that we could all eat together. My sister-in-law and her husband Adam came in from Germany, as did John and Brianne (or friends from college). We were also joined by Brian, Tina and Hannah Davis; who we met in the hotel when we got here and Hannah babysits the boys (she is one of their very favorite people!!) We also had the pleasure of hosting Jeremy's boss Daniel and his fiance Charlotte. They are from Germany and were very excited to see what our holiday was all about. Of course we had way more food than we could possibly eat, but it was a truly blessed day.
As a side note, when Aunt Jenny and Uncle Adam came they brought Zane his birthday present.....a new set of golf clubs (because he has gotten to tall for his original clubs). He was only slightly thrilled and loved them even more because they are black and orange. Gotta love that kid!!!
At the end of the weekend, as always, we started putting up our Christmas tree. I was pleasantly surprised that Logan did not take the ornaments off faster then I could put them on and really enjoyed the quality time of decorating with them....even though we got interrupted and it took up over a week to get it finished!!
