Thanksgiving

Well happy (belated) turkey day! as I am sitting in my room... trying to digest the massive amounts of food in my stomach I thought I would post my greatful list. Today we had a Thanks Giving Dinner with at John and Ines's aprtment where we ate massive amounts of food. I was in charge of apple pie.
