Last weekend we went to Gothemburg area to celebrate Thanksgiving and get together with some old friends from Chicago. Elisa and Derrick and their daughter Noelle were our great hosts and they moved to Sweden in August this year after 10 years in the US, just like us. Paula, Thomas and their daughter Selma was also there which we got to know in Chicago and our newlywed friends Elin and Nish from Evanston who are expecting a little one in March. Since Thanksgiving is not a holiday here in Sweden we got together on Saturday instead and there was all the great fixings and foods from a very traditional dinner. Turkey, mashed potatoes, imported sweet potatoes from the US, pies etc etc... It was delicious! It was such a nice evening and fun to get together and talk about the old times in US and also a lot of discussions around the new steps we have all taken by becoming parents. The little ones, with Noelle being the oldest (1 year), Selma (6 mo.) and William (2 mo.) were so well behaved and happy to hang out with us all night.

The next day we took a hike in the woods with Elisa, Derrick and Noelle. It was the first time we really tried out the baby bjorn and William seemed to like it since after a few minutes he was sound asleep. It was a really beautiful hike and it was needed after all the delicious food that we ate the night before.
