Happy Thanksgiving

We had a nice dinner with the Degen's Family and my in-laws Cliff and Sandy. Cristobal Colon discovered America in 1492. The pilgrims came about fifty years later and ate turkey. Since then, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day and eat lots of turkey.

Trick or Treat?

Sophia wore her Chinese dress and went out with mom and Assen for trick or treat. Not sure if she got some candy, but she had fun. This morning she was having a conversation with her brother. She was in her room and making all kind of noises and Assen was answering back to her. They did this for more than 20 minutes! They both were having so much fun, each in their own room.
Sophia is helping us set the table. Mom gives her plates and silverware and she goes to the dining room and sets them on the table. She is also holding crayons with her little hand and trying to color books.
She coughs in the mornings and her nose keeps running. But she eats very well. She likes to eat grapes. She also eats scrambled eggs and cheerios, of course.
