Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!! (Happy Putentag - Turkeyday)
We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
Here we had our own little Thanksgiving. On Thursday the Americans got together after our practice finished at 8:00 and went over to one of the guy's apartments. There we had dinner. Earlier in the day Katy and I went over to his house and cooked so the food would be all ready when we got done with practice. We cooked a turkey, stuffing, mashed potatos, gravy, broccoli and cheese sauce for it, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, banana cream pie. Every thing we made had to be from scratch as they dont have any stuffing mix, pumpkin pie filling, French's onions, pie crust. It made it kind of fun to make it like that though. Then one of our teammates made candied sweet potatoes, a ham, he had a little cranberry sauce, and made a yellow cake. Another couple of teammates brought rolls and drinks so we were set. We were a little worried that we were not going to have enough food, but in the end it was just about right. For some of the stuff there was no leftovers, but I think everybody got as much as they wanted on the night so it was great. There were eight of us and it was a great night. Made even better by the Packers getting the W. We were able to watch the game as the guy's place we went to had ESPN America on his TV and we were able to watch it live. It was awesome. One of the guys on the team is Cowboys fan so we watched that game as well and they won too. So everyone was happy.
