disturbing sweet potatoes

we wanted some christmas cheer in our apartment since it still feels like spring here so amanda cut about a million snow flakes out and hung lights. it just feel christmasy in here. she is now the new snowflake artist on the team. the one of the coffee cups is my personal fav.

this is some of our stash that our moms brought us so that we could celebrate Tday with our friends here. a lot of it has been there for a couple months much to our friends amusement when they openned our cabinet looking for a cup. "you are so american" they would say.

here is the final product. yes! the turkey is wearing a bikini... matt, amanda and i worked for two days to get it all togther and i think everyone enjoyed it. they weren't sure about why we would make something as sweet as the sweet potatoes and then put marshmellows on top...i think that disturbed them a bit, but otherwise they liked it.

this is me and clara

this is sera, david, raquel, suso and irene. they got the good spot. by the food.

here are some other friends. in all we had about 15 friends come...we were so glad they could come and share the day with us.
