Christmas Market








One of the English Language websites lists the Christmas Markets found in Moscow, we were a day or so early for this one in Red Square, as it was not open yet. 

The Kremlin and St. Basil's Cathedral

Thanksgiving

It looks like a big turkey doesn't it?  Well, actually it is a small oven.  The turkey weighed about 10 pounds. 

Chocolate pecan pie, apple pie, pumpkin pie and double layer pumpkin pie, yum!

Happy Thanksgiving from Russia with Love!
We had all the traditional foods, some ingredients were purchased in the states and brought back in suitcases others were found here, either expectedly, potatoes, or unexpectedly, cranberries!  We also had guests, tow couple we know from church and Bible study joined us for dinner.  I forgot to take a picture of all of us enjoying the meal together.  We watched a couple of football movies because to R Thanksgiving just isn't Thanksgiving without a little football, and I found a clip of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on you tube.   It wasn't just the same but it was a joyful and thankful holiday just the same.
