There is no school for the kids today thru the end of the week in order to celebrate Thanksgiving. This year, it was a white Thanksgiving with the snow coming down all day today with about 6 inches total. Many people lost power in the area, we were fortunate and did not. Although, we have a generator, so when we do lose power, it is of no consequence to us.

Thursday, Thanksgiving Day
We went to Scott's brother John's house in Maine for Thanksgiving dinner. Also joining us were Scott's brothers Mark & Dave and their families. We had the traditional turkey, a smoked goose and all the trimmings plus the most awesome desserts made by Uncle Dave. Dave is the Chef of the family and owns a restaurant.
Quite ironic that there was a gang of wild turkeys that passed thru their backyard.
This was probably one of the first holidays that I didn't take out my camera...I guess I just wanted to take the day off too!
Friday-Sunday, November 28-30, 2014
Aba's friend Laslo took the train up from the Boston area to spend the day/night up here. We had a nice dinner at home with them and enjoyed getting to know his friend. I find it very entertaining to have someone new at the dinner table.
After dinner, one of Aba's friends came to pick them up and they hung out with a large group of kids at another house for most of the evening. I love knowing that they are having typical American teenage experiences.
Bright and early on Saturday morning, Aba was off to wrestling practice and Laslo decided to stay here and enjoy a nice breakfast with us, talking and spending some time with the boys. They went out hiking in the snow covered words for awhile, Scott made his delicious pizzas and we convinced Laslo to spend another night so I wouldn't have to drive him home late.
By Sunday afternoon, he was ready to head out. We enjoyed getting to know him and I hope he knows that he is welcome here anytime.
As you can see, not the easiest shot for me to get, but at least I got it!
