The Thanksgiving Weekend was full, very full. Friday we bought our Christmas tree. As we told the tree salesman ... we brought our smallest car to buy your biggest tree. We somehow got it home.
Jonas, Moritz and Leticia decorated it.
Later, I learned that my camera had been commandeered. Here is Moritz and but one of the fun photos I discovered later.
We celebrated with a steak dinner and a bottle of sparkling grape juice.
Saturday morning brought many neighbors from the 400 block to decorate the circle. We were treated to hot chocolate delivered by a horse-drawn wagon. Here Claudia and Jonas enjoy their hot chocolate.
And here are some of the happy decorators.
Afterwards, Jonas and Moritz helped me decorate the house. We installed our traditional wreaths ...
and plugged in Tommy.
After a brief shopping trip, we then all went to the Potwin Players performance of The Elves and the Shoemaker. Mark and Meg were fantastic as Mr. and Mrs. Shoemaker but the neighborhood kids stole the show. Here is the entire cast:
As we delivered Moritz to the bus in Kansas City Saturday night for his trip back to St. Louis, Jonas and his buddies attended the Miracle on Kansas Avenue Parade. In fact, they were IN the parade. Sorry, no photos.
At the end of the weekend, we had full tummies, special memories and a decorated circle and house.
We hope your Thanksgiving was full of love.
