No sooner had Finnur left for California, when some of the ex-Californians got together to celebrate Thanksgiving! \u00a0Oh, and it also SNOWED a ton overnight! (20 images total, HERE ARE ALL THE PHOTOS<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\"Very<\/a>

Very thankful ex-Californians about to eat a lot of great food.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

\"First<\/a>

First things first, though. It SNOWED a lot overnight. \u00a0It was fitting, with Finnur gallivanting in California!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Bjarki<\/a>

Bjarki and his friend tested out the snow-gear, and managed to stay outside for about 10 minutes before fleeing into the warmth again.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Party<\/a>

Party time!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Sensibly,<\/a>

Sensibly, the kids ate first.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Soff\u00eda<\/a>

Soff\u00eda toasts, while \u00c1g\u00fast 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. \u00a0All you need is a big house!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Thank<\/a>

Thank you, ex-bird and ex-sweet potatoes!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"There<\/a>

There are still a lot of kids in the group. \u00a0This image is even missing three of them that arrived late!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Finally,<\/a>

Finally, the adults and oldest kids could sit down to eat. The food was great!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Post-dinner,<\/a>

Post-dinner, we moved into the sitting rooms to play a game. \u00a0The boys were a bit busy on their phones at first though<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Meanwhile,<\/a>

Meanwhile, Emma was busy playing with toys, and avoiding the big dog, that freaked her out.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The lovely big dog.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

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!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Anna<\/a>

Anna and Bjarki participating in acting out “Tears, smiles, and cleats.”<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Longing<\/a>

Longing for dessert after the game was finished.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Kids<\/a>

Kids playing upstairs.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Deep<\/a>

Deep discussions going on.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Finally!<\/a>

Finally! Dessert!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"I<\/a>

I was there! (Also, the Attack of the Sillies!)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The lovely house, as we were leaving.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
