With the "Family"

My extended host family was over today for an after Christmas dinner, which is traditionally very much like Thanksgiving without the required foods. The family included two sisters of Jan, their husbands, and the son and daughter of one. Also Bono the dog came along, who was a problem for Lewis at first but by the end of the night the two had warmed up to each other. Dinner was delicious and I almost over stuffed myself, but I had to save room for the apple pie!

Once dinner was finished we had a bout of singing. The request from Jan was an American song, so I chose American The Beautiful. Then after talking a bit about choirs and groups, I showed a few videos of HCA on youtube. This lead to everyone requesting videos, and adding more fun to the night. We also talked about a multitude of things, nothing as strange as a Cohen thanksgiving but it was diverse enough.

After everyone had left, we sat down and watched the live action version of Asterix & Obelix and the Olympic Games with very well done Dutch voice overs. Followed by Asterix & Obelix and Cleopatra in French with Dutch sub titles. Finally seeing the live action A&B was great and brought back memories of reading all of the books in Elementary and Middle school, and plenty of laughs.

I have posted the images from yesterday on yesterday's post so take a gander is you would like!
