Team Serbia and the microwaves

Oh my goodness, the last seven days have been so blog worthy its going to take me quite a few posts to relate it all to you. I'm still working on my Roma+Israel video, but in the meantime I'm going to start making headway on all the other great things that have happened. These are some photos of our Team Thanksgiving that happened this last Saturday. There were 12 adults and 10 kids...did I get that right? Anyway, a house full. We even had a new friend from Greece that was hanging out between flights. Oh, and there were three microwaves. One in the Israel's house already, one from the Stevens and mine as well. We decided to combine leftovers from Thursday's feasts and serve a few other things...the most efficient way to do this (without killing Randi's oven) was to let everyone fix their own plate and then to let them heat it up in the microwave of choice. Here are some photos of that occasion, not great ones because I was a little busy stuffing my face...but they'll do. 

Before food, playing computer games and waiting on our southern teammates to arrive.

"Playing" with Wilson. He's always a hit at parties.

The second refrigerator. It was cold enough to store side dishes, desserts, and drinks out there. We even had room to spare.

Josh, before he accidentally dissed Jen's dressing.

Microwave #1

Microwave #2

Randi showing off Microwave #3 and the insane amount we fit in her small oven.

Eating deliciousness.

A rarity. The Stevens without their beautiful children. (I actually don't have many kid photos because we sent them all out to play before it got dark.)

Connor showing off the ideal way to eat Turkey and Dressing. He was so awkward trying to cut it so that he had stuffing on top of his turkey with every bite. Instead of cutting the turkey and the adding the stuffing he would pile it on top and then cut off the desired amount. We convinced him eating it like a turkey boat was much more efficient.

More deliciousness.

We played games after...except Mike and Kyle. They hate games. We also watched the scifi movie about the giant submarine eating shark that battles the giant crocodile that destroys the stadium...top notch entertainment for this bunch. 

 

 

After spending all day with each other, we were exhausted. The Stevens and the Israels were kind enough to let people fall where they might in their respective houses and the team spent the night in Belgrade so that the ladies could get up bright and early and head to Budapest. And thus ends (mostly) the Thanksgiving Odyessy.
