Thanksgiving

I went with Derek and Elin on Thursday to the ICA Maxi and it was like heaven! They had so many of the foods from back home and I got poptarts and peach slices! Thursday was also thanksgiving! Which was so much fun! Everyone made something—I brought the ice cream for the apple pie that elin and issy made. Julie brought green bean casserole which was AMAZING, stuart even made yams! James and Joel did corn and Shannon and Em brought salad. Derek did mashed potatoes and Brett & Claus did dinner rolls. It was so nice to be with the whole Swedish family eating awesome food! It was funny b/c since we were so many there would be a few conversations going on, and when one would end those people would just jump to the next one and then from time to time there was just a huge startling silence, which all ended up laughing at. We all just hung out at Bretts for a while and talked after dinner. The boys started watching football and me Elin an Issy ended up falling asleep all spooned on Claus’ bed until they woke us up at about midnight. It was a really great night!
