Party x2

This weekend I attended 2 parties.  First, the volunteer Thanksgiving dinner and then the 5th birthday party for my little cousin who lives with us.    

We made a ridiculous amount of food for Thanksgiving.    All the volunteers were divided into teams.  Here's team Mashed Potatoes in action.  I was in charge of the gravy.

Looks pretty American.  Tasted AMAZING.

Grisha didn't even use silverware I don't think.  Just used the turkey leg to shovel the  food from the bowl.

Jade is overjoyed with the pecan pie our Country Director made for us.  Also, she wins the Best Dressed award.

This was what I woke up to the morning after the Thanksgiving party.

And this.  So Much Cooking.

Then the Criancas descended upon us.

And they danced.

This is Lenon, my favorite cousin.  He is the Besssssst Dancer I've ever seen.

Some other vols came to the party and the Crancas took pictures of us, and with us.  This is Amy.

Lenon and I.

At a Mozam-birthday party the gifts are presented individually.  Folks line up and everyone sings as they hand the presents to the birthday boy.

But Leo didn't want to get out of the bouncy castle.  Not even for presents.

So, that was my weekend.  In other news, I washed 11 pieces of clothing today (that included 4 pairs of Un-mentionables) and it took me 45 minutes.  I'm exhausted.  Also, I've been to 2 different tailors this week having measurements made for some new shirts I'm getting.  I'm excited to have custom made clothes.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
