On a typical Thanksgiving morning, I would wake up to the smell of a fresh pumpkin pie in the oven and the sounds of the Macy's Day parade in the background. However, as noted by the blog title, we are not in Woodbury anymore!
With my dad in Vienna, we moved Thanksgiving to Saturday instead of Thursday. So this past Thursday, the real Thanksgiving, was a typical Thursday for us. D, K and I did school work and had lamp chops for dinner. We did skype into the appetizers at my aunt's house and my grandparents' house, but that was the extent of our celebration. So on Saturday morning we were all very exicted for our first Thanksigivng in Germany. The green beans were plucked, cranberry sauce made, and a pumpkin pie was in the works. We did have some trouble with the kitchen being smaller than we are used to but we managed. Following in my grandmothers footsteps I prepared her famous yams, and D made the best part of the meal, the stuffing. Which even Macintosh approved of, as we turned our backs and there she was standing at the table eating out of the side of the bowl, a little indentation was left from where she started.
As Thanksgiving is not celebrated here in Germany, Christmas is the next holiday - our Thanksgiving table was therefore Christmasfied. D was very excited, the table was the most decorated its been.
