Thanksgiving in January.

YAY, Happy Thanksgiving!!
...in January


So, for Ronald's birthday Anne and I's present 
to him was a Thanksgivings meal. 
(His birthday was in November, so it wasn't quite that random.)
Annddddddd, we finally made it last weekend.

On the menu was of course Sweet Corn, Stuffing, and Turkey. 




LOOK AT THAT TURKEY!!





I probably would have given this a 6 out of 10.

The corn was great (well duh, I'm the best corn maker),
...besides Shirley
 the stuffing was a bit salty, 
and the Turkey was a tiny bit cold, but fine. 


In other words, quite unexpectedly good.
I actually made an entire Thanksgiving meal? Dang.

Happy Holidays

Hi, Happy (late) Holidays!

Well, yeah, my year is half over now.
Well, since January 14.

A lot has happened since my last update. 
yeah

So, Christmas has come and gone, and it was quite interesting to experience the holiday in another culture.

For the entire month of December we had a Christmas calender that was filled with sweets that you could take everyday. 
Here is mine... half empty.


Then on the 6th, St. Nikolaus came and filled 
my shoes full of all sorts of goodies. 




On Christmas Eve we went to a big church in the afternoon and following that we came home and ate wurst and potato salad. After eating we opened presents!! 





Then on the 25th we headed over to Antje's parents for a fun filled afternoon full of eating. And repeated again on the 26th at Ronald's parents house.



Then just a few short days afterwards was
Silvester!
(New Years)

For New Years Anne and I stayed at our friend 
Paula's for the night. 


It was quite exciting.
They sorda' celebrate kind of like how 
we celebrate the 4th of July.
So many fireworks.
Take the amount of fireworks you see on  the 
fourth then multiply it by at least 3. 
I really like New Years here, even though I couldn't hear anything.


Well, that's about it for the holidays.
Be expecting another post in the next week or so, I have so many topics to talk about.
