Thanksgiving

Liisa, Anja and Steve came over to spend Thanksgiving. It was a fun day. Before we "celebrated lunch" Nora taught the visitors to play Tier auf tier, her animal stacking game.
We made lunch our big meal to fit in with the normal routine for the kids. Nora made a jello salad to contribute to the meal. Nora enjoyed finding things to be thankful for and started in the car on the way over with "bread and cheese." Throughout the day she would add items: "broccoli, peanut butter sandwiches, turkey, milk" among others made the list. Most of her gratitude was food related. She finished the day with a monologue in her bed. "I'm thankful for corn, I'm thankful for peas, I'm thankful for people, what else?" "I'm thankful for turkey sandwiches..." It went on for about 15 minutes and was funny to listen to.
