Since it was Thanksgiving week, the kids only had school on Monday and Tuesday this week and were going back to their Mom\u2019s on Tuesday night. Bill, Debbie and I also only had to work Monday- Wednesday.
\nWhich means we had a lot of time to do grown-up stuff \ud83d\ude00 \u2013 so we started the long weekend with dinner and a movie on Wednesday.
\nThe last Thursday in November is when Thanksgiving is celebrated in the United States and since we had a visitor from afar, we were all the more determined to make it a traditional one. Plus I hadn\u2019t been in the States for Thanksgiving since 2000. So Bill& Debbie put together a feast (I did get to make some of the sides, but left the turkey to the pros :)) and we enjoyed a wonderful day and night at their house with more margaritas (leftovers from Friday), lots of football and funny games :-).<\/p>\n

Da diese Woche Thanksgiving (Erntedank, hier aber nach Weihnachten definitiv der wichtigste Feiertag) bevorstand, hatten Alyssa und Owen nur am Montag und Dienstag Schule und gingen Dienstag Abend zur\u00fcck zu Mama. Bill, Debbie und ich mussten auch nur von Montag-Mittwoch arbeiten.<\/strong>
\n Das hie\u00df, dass wir massig Zeit f\u00fcr erwachsenes Vergn\u00fcgen hatten und somit mit Abendessen und Kino am Mittwochabend ins lange Wochenende gestartet sind.
\nAm letzten Donnerstag im November wird in den USA immer Thanksgiving gefeiert und da wir ja weitgereisten Besuch hatten, wollten wir unbedingt ein richtig traditionelles Thanksgiving feiern. Au\u00dferdem war ich selbst seit 2000 nicht mehr zu Thanksgiving in den Staaten. Also haben Bill& Debbie ein Festessen aufgefahren (ich habe ein paar der Beilagen gemacht, den Truthahn aber den Spezialisten \u00fcberlassen) und wir hatten einen tollen Tag und Abend bei den beiden mit weiteren Margeritas (noch \u00fcbrig vom Freitag davor), viel Football und lustigen Spielen :-).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Our plan for Black Friday had also been set a while back \u2013 we were NOT going shopping \u2013 but went to a winery west of Columbia that Bill& Debbie really like.
\nDer Plan f\u00fcr Black Friday (der Freitag nach Thanksgiving wird \u201cschwarzer Freitag\u201c genannt) stand ebenfalls schon l\u00e4nger fest \u2013 KEIN Shopping (die meisten L\u00e4den haben an diesem Tag ab dem fr\u00fchen Morgen [6 Uhr] ge\u00f6ffnet und die besten Angebote des Jahres. Entsprechend voll ist es aber auch und es ist keine Seltenheit, dass Kunden vor den L\u00e4den \u00fcbernachten, um das, was sie kaufen m\u00f6chten auch tats\u00e4chlich zu bekommen)\u2013 wir wollten einem Weinhersteller westlich von Columbia einen Besuch abstattten, von dem Bill& Debbie schon mehrfach geschw\u00e4rmt hatten.

\nSaturday I took Adam to work at 4:30 am so we\u2019d be out with just one vehicle \u2013 Liz and I were going on an all-day shopping spree in Columbia and wanted to get an early start after getting a taste of exactly how busy the mall would be the Saturday before. Since we were planning to all see a movie that night, we went back to Moberly to pick up Adam and then back to Columbia for dinner and a visit to the Ragtag cinema (where we met a coworker of mine. Anni knew someone and Adam didn’t – is that even possible :)?).<\/p>\n

Am Samstag habe ich Adam um halb 5 zur Arbeit gefahren, um an dem Tag nur mit einem Auto unterwegs zu sein. Liz und ich hatten einen ausgedehnten Shopping-Trip nach Columbia geplant und wollten dort fr\u00fch starten, nachdem wir in der Woche zuvor gesehen hatten, wie viel samstags in der Mall los war. Da wir abends alle zusammen nochmal einen Film anschauen wollten, haben wir Adam also in Moberly abgeholt und sind dann zur\u00fcck nach Columbia gefahren- zum Abendessen und einem Besuch im Ragtag Kino (wo wir mal zur Abwechslung einen meiner Kollegen getroffen haben. Anni kennt wen und Adan micht – sowas gibts :)?).<\/strong><\/p>\n
