Our "German Thansgiving"




Christina Gaelauf invited us for a "traditional American Thanksgiving" dinner. She served on Temple Square as a missionary and was excited to celebrate the day with us.



Her mother and brother celebrated with us. Thomas served his mission in Colorado. The "traditional" dinner turned out to be turkey legs, rotkohl (cooked red cabbage), Knoedel (potato dumpling), pumpkin soup and a pumpkin cake that she called pumpkin pie. It was a "lecker" German meal.



Santa sat on the couch and reigned over it all. Christina lit all her advent candles, burned the Christmas incense and brought out traditional lebkuchen (cookies). We began our Weihnachts Feier (Christmas Holiday) celebration in Dresden. Thank you Christina
