Thanksgiving

I am a bit behind on the blog. Here's what's happening:

- We had Thanksgiving at a local restaurant that is normally a New Orleans Jazz place. They offered a carved turkey dinner and we saw a could of people from the international school that the kids know. It was really nice. They also showed us more of a New Orleans Thanksgiving because they offered jambalaya in addition to the turkey. No pumpkin pie but Daph made one for us at home. Here's a picture from the restaurant.

- The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we invited our friends over and Daphne made a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. It was perfect. Turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, etc. We even had tivo-ed the Macy's parade and had it running on the TV.

The following Sunday we joined our German friends for a "day out". The boys broke out the Santa hats on the streets of Munich and we headed south.
We went for a walk in a large park at the base of the mountains. We walked for a couple of miles and enjoyed the view and fresh air in Murnau.

We then went further south to the base of the Alps to Garmisch. The town center was decorated for Christmas and a band played at the town center. Brian did not want to be photographed.
The night was crisp and everyone was in a happy mood. We sipped warm wine (Gluwein) before having one of the best Bavarian dinners I have ever enjoyed. (Even better than pumpernickels on Long Island).

We are starting to feel connected in our new life. Daph is getting so settled, the kids and I allow her unsupervised access to the car.
