A German-American Thanksgiving in Cambridge

Thanksgiving is one of our favorite American traditions and we were hosting it for the last 10 years. 

Though some things were new this year... 

We attended the Cambridge High School Football game on Thanksgiving Eve. Jakob was playing, not football, but saxophone. 

It was a first Thanksgiving at our new house and with new friends we met here (and old ones, of course!).

After we prepared the turkey, Olaf took care of it for the next six hours...as usual.

The holiday season officially started, Santa already is on his way...

Oh, America...

What a sad day...truly speechless...

Vote!!!

If I could vote I would be "with HER".
We were hoping to be able to vote, but the bureaucracy slows the process... Next election!
So, we will wait anxiously for the results tonight, as the rest of the nation, too...and worry what will expect us tomorrow...

A Stormtrooper in Cambridge

Jakob's favorite holiday: Halloween! 

A hard core Star Wars fan, he decided to be a stormtrooper this year.
Except for the helmet his costume was self made, he even converted his soccer gear into armor. All the other parts he somehow found in the house.
His transformation took a while... 

Then, he was off with his friends for trick or treating.
