Thanksgiving 2015
[Photos from 28 November 2015, posted online 21 March 2016. The thaw helps with blogging apparently…]
No sooner had Finnur left for California, when some of the ex-Californians got together to celebrate Thanksgiving! Oh, and it also SNOWED a ton overnight! (20 images total, HERE ARE ALL THE PHOTOS)
Very thankful ex-Californians about to eat a lot of great food.
First things first, though. It SNOWED a lot overnight. It was fitting, with Finnur gallivanting in California!
Bjarki and his friend tested out the snow-gear, and managed to stay outside for about 10 minutes before fleeing into the warmth again.
Party time!
Sensibly, the kids ate first.
Soffía toasts, while Ágúst is busy carving a turkey in the background, while Eggert directs. This was a (planned) potluck party, which makes it a lot easier to host. All you need is a big house!
Thank you, ex-bird and ex-sweet potatoes!
There are still a lot of kids in the group. This image is even missing three of them that arrived late!
Finally, the adults and oldest kids could sit down to eat. The food was great!
Post-dinner, we moved into the sitting rooms to play a game. The boys were a bit busy on their phones at first though
Meanwhile, Emma was busy playing with toys, and avoiding the big dog, that freaked her out.
The lovely big dog.
The game had the group split up in two teams, and each team got one of the sitting/living rooms to work in. Each team had to come up with a book title, and then act it out for the other team, which had to guess the title. It was great fun!
Anna and Bjarki participating in acting out “Tears, smiles, and cleats.”
Longing for dessert after the game was finished.
Kids playing upstairs.
Deep discussions going on.
Finally! Dessert!
I was there! (Also, the Attack of the Sillies!)
The lovely house, as we were leaving.
