We celebrated Thanksgiving on Friday night. I made a huge meal and had a bunch of friends over. In the end there were 7 of us enjoying Thanksgiving in my tiny apartment (it was very tight). I made turkey legs, stuffing, green bean casserole, roasted carrots, mashed potatoes, cornbread and pumpkin pie. It was delicious. I very much enjoyed my Thanksgiving dinner, and I think most of my friends did as well. We were an interesting group: 2 Frenchies (my husband and my student), 2 Russians, 2 Americans (me and Jasmin) and 1 Canadian (Marybeth).
We started with a nice little aperitif around 8pm, then ate dinner around 9pm, and then relaxed and enjoyed some wine and nice conversation until around midnight. Then some of us decided to head out to a bar for another drink (since Lionel had to get up early for work on Saturday). Unfortunately, one drink turned into many and we ended up out until VERY late/early. But all in all it was a great Thanksgiving, and one of the best that I have had in France.

In other news, I'm extremely happy to announce that my husband has FINALLY sent the préavis for our apartment today, and so we will finally get to move out of this miserable little box in 3 months!!!!!!!!! If you can't tell, I'm very excited about this. But more on that another time....
