thanksgiving but not thanksgiving

Andrea and I love Thanksgiving. We love it so much and were so excited about it that we forgot the actual date of thanksgiving and invited friends over a week early to celebrate. So we had Tom, Christoph and Katharina over on the Third Thursday on November (which still sounds right to me?!?) to celebrate.

Christoph and Katharina also gave us a wonderful wedding present. They gave us a german recipe a month for a year, translated into both english and german. And the first one they made for us. Knodel. Here's a couple pics...

It's important to look into the eyes of the person your cheering with.Delicious!

That weekend we also went out to Long Beach for a barbeque and some double disc court on the beach...

Happy prelated (and as I write this, belated) thanksgiving everyone,
Dave and Andrea
