We had many visitors in November. Patty and Maria celebrated their birthday with a trip to Europe (NL, IR, BE & FR!!!) We were also joined by our friends the Obrions. We were able to share a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with friends.

Patty and Maria are in town and first things first: nothing like a night at the Reid's crafting away!!! A Quilt Is Born!

Patty and Maria enjoy the cheese, while the "cheese girl" practices her English. What is wrong with this picture?

We see Sinterclaus off with his Zwatre Piets... Patty tries to impress the surfers with her Gortex: neoprene or die!

Our favourite WindMills call Patty and Maria. Enduring the elements in Antwerp...diamonds anyone?

On Thanksgiving Day the Pilgrams GOTO Leiden, and then feast on the fried turkey. Ken, Alan, Cindy, Mehnaz, Maria, Patty and Pam. And at the kids table not shown: Jessica, Katie, Graham and Patrick.

Did the hand slapping ever stop? J and K in action. The kids crammed in for a short tour of the windmills.

We arrive in Kinderdijk for a visit of a UNESCO site of heritage. The kids pose on a bridge. SOOO PRETTY!
