Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving! No one actually cares about Thanksgiving here. Which makes sense, as Thanksgiving is very much an American holiday. Yet, even though we are in Sweden, we still managed to have an American Thanksgiving but with a Swedish twist. Since Thursday was a work day in Sweden, we celebrated on Friday instead. Mike and Allison were our hosts for the evening and did most of the cooking. It wasn't easy to find some of the more traditional ingredients (such as turkey, cranberries and pumpkin), but after visiting several grocery stores and a few online searches, we were able to secure all the ingredients needed.

The meal tasted, smelled, and felt like home. Mike and Allison did a fabulous job hosting and cooking. This was also Sean, Emma, and Olivia's first Thanksgiving. They loved it and believe this is a holiday that should be celebrated in England. Thanksgiving in Sweden was officially a success!
