Turkey and Penguins

Saturday, December 1st 2007

Our morning started out pretty laid back today. I went to do some Christmas shopping for Tami in the morning while she stayed home. She was able to complete her shopping for me on Friday since she had the day off. After I was done, we headed over to Stacey and Joe's flat for a late Thanksgiving dinner. We had met Stacey and Joe at Bodeans when we watched the UGA - Florida game. We have been meaning to get up with them, but they are heading back to the States soon, so they are really busy. There were quite a few people there, but we were the only other Americans, so we had to help teach everyone about Thanksgiving. That meant that we all went outside and threw an American football around, teaching them how to throw it. After that, we went back in and had a huge Thanksgiving feast... the kind we missed the first time around, followed by football!

Stacey, if you're reading this, thank you so much for the Thanksgiving meal... it was wonderful and we had a great time.


Throwing the ole pigskin around.

After we had digested our food a bit, we had plans to go skating at Somerset House at 10:30, so headed over there. It was really cool, they had a big skating rink out with Torches and other lights to light up the rink. We got there early, so we grabbed a hot chocolate and watched people skating around. Finally it was our time, so we laced up our skates and hit the ice (fortunately, not literally.) We did pretty good since neither one of us fell the entire time we were out there. Compared to a lot of people, we were pretty good. However, we didn't get too fancy, so you won't see pictures of either of us doing any jumps. We skated for about an hour before they closed the rink and we headed home.


The skating was sponsered by Tiffany's, so Tami posed with the Tiffany's boxes under the tree (and no, Tami's Christmas gift is not in one of those boxes)
