Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. The Martins and Carrolls came to Vienna from Dresden, Germany for a typical American Thanksgiving. We went to the Christmas market on Friday and the kids rode the carousel. 

With just the 3 of our families, we have 8 children! It was a little crazy at times. My personal favorite was when the girls filled up the Barbie swimming pool with water and then jumped off the trampoline into it! Sorry, no pictures. It wasn't too funny while we were cleaning up all of the water! 

We had an auction to raise some money for a family who is in financial need. We auctioned off some American things that we can't get here in Europe. Here is what was up for grabs:

And this is all of the stuff we won! Everyone was really generous and we raised a lot of money for this family. The item that went for the most money was the Double-Stuf Oreos for 21 Euros with the bag of goldfish close behind! It was a great idea and we all had a lot of fun. 
We hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving as well. We have so much to be thankful for.
