Thanksgiving

We have had a change of plans.  Our wonderful tradition of having 2 Thanksgiving meals each year has been destroyed by snow! Yes, Denmark has been hit by a crazy snowstorm and has left us stranded with a double batch of stuffing and no Watermark Americans to share it with!  The traditional 3 hour journey to Northern Jutland this weekend after Thanksgiving to have a true American celebration, would have taken over 5 hours, so we decided to stay home. So now I have time to fill you all in on our 1st Thanksgiving celebration of the year.
On Thanksgiving Day we had some friends over for a Thanksgiving dinner.  With Auntie Anne's excellent recipies I was able to make a succesful feast again! One of my friends from MN had sent us some pumpkin in a can and some cute Turkey napkins, so the table was definitely festive.  Our tradition of saying what we are thankful for is my favorite part of the evening! Søren and I definitely have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.. :)

Otherwise things have been looking up for me, pregnancy wise.  My morning sickness had decided to only visit in the afternoon and evening...and just yesterday I felt great until about 7pm...so I am very optimistic.  They only thing is that as soon as I started to not feel nauseous, I got a really bad head cold and actually had to stay home from work one day because of it. I am still struggling to breath through my nose and to taste my food, but the headache is gone and my energy is up, so I am happy!
Here your first look at how I am looking now-a-days. You get a before, 10 weeks and NOW (15 weeks)  picture!

Søren is done with school-school until February.  He starts a 7 week student teaching adventure on Monday.  He is excited to get to teach all the 3 classes he is interested in: Social Studies, Math and Music.  He will actually be at the school when they have their musical, so he will be helping with the band there!
Now today because of our change in plans we are going to have our first Christmas celebration with our friends from our small group at church.  Good food, Christmas clipping, and HYGGE! We are glad we can do something today now that our Thankgiving fun is spoiled! Hope you all have had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
