Week 6

5th Grade Thanksgiving party
Aiden's class invited parents for a Thanksgiving party.  I always love seeing my kids in action at school with their friends!!



Thanksgiving Day
For Thanksgiving we went to Trento, Italy to visit their Christmas Market

The drive was scary but beautiful!  Trento was up in the mountains so we had to go on very curvy, narrow roads for a long time!

Looking for the Christmas market

We found it!


Goulash Soup - Amazing!!



Jeremy had an organic, fresh from the mountains meal: corn meal patty thingy, fried potatoes, grilled onions, egg, and a piece of grilled cheese that came from the milk from the cows that graze at the highest part of the mountain.

The kids enjoyed some crepes.  Whitney struggled but insisted on eating them like a lady!

Very cool handmade candle holders.  You can see the guy in the background making them. 

Local market

Walking through the city

City center and one of the best fountains I've ever seen!


For dinner we decided to try a Mexican restaurant - which is always scary when you're in Europe but this one had some good reviews from Americans


It was pretty good... not quite the same though.  

Saturday night we went to see our house that we are moving into.  We decided to go with a different house.  The tenants are still living there so we can't move in until Dec 20.  We found a pizzeria close by the house on the way home so we stopped for dinner. mmmm....
La Vecchia Fattoria - soon to be our favorite Pizzeria
