POD-192: First snow
Our first "snow" of the year. Since we didn't know if we'd see it again for awhile we ran outside in our pjs.

POD-191: Happy Thanksgiving
Living in Belgium has never stopped us from celebrating with a nice American-style feast for Thanksgiving. This year we got together with my other American friend in the neighborhood and made a nice dinner for a few of our close friends. We fixed all the traditional dishes with a turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, corn pudding, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and of course pumpkin pie with fresh whipped cream.
I was feeling thankful for so many wonderful things this year early in the week, but then kind of had the rug swept out from under my feet making me think about things a bit differently. In the end, getting together with one of my greatest friends was not only exactly what I needed, but really put things back into perspective.
Morgan was in charge of the green beans. She helped me snap them all in half and made the dressing. I asked her how many she was going to eat since she helped make them and she told me "one." In the end she ate 5 whole green beans.
Noah was quite patient while we spent the whole day cooking.
Morgan and Thomas.
Morgan was happy to share kitty with Noah, but didn't quite like him being thrown on the floor.

POD-188: Sinterklaasfeest at Work
Morgan was so excited to go to the Sinterklaas party at my work, mostly because she wanted to see my work. They had a big party with lots of fun stuff for the kids to do. She made her own cocktail, got a balloon dog, decorated a cupcake, made a flower, sang for the Sint and zwarte Pieten (how did I miss a picture of them!!?), and got lots of candy. Surely that will skew her perception of what I really do at work.
POD-187: Vorselaar Castle
We were grateful for a nice enough day to go visit this nearby castle we've been wanting to see. It's a bit of a hike to get there which was nice since it isn't open for visitors.
Morgan says, "look, Mommy, football." lol
Morgan charmed a cookie and truffle from a nice grandmother walking in the woods.
Still a few mushrooms in the woods. Not and of the cute red ones with white spots, but still mushrooms.
This is what Morgan did when I asked her to put her cheek on my cheek. Then it became quite the funny game.
"You can't pass"
