On Friday night, we had a most wonderful after-Thanksgiving dinner celebrating Grandpa Levi and Grandma Ramona's anniversary. We had dinner reservations at the revolving restaurant atop the KL Tower. The tower is 421 meters (1381 feet), and the revolving restaurant has a towering view of the city at 283 meters (928 feet). We had incredible views of the Twin Towers, which you can see in the window behind us.
The buffet dinner was wonderful, but it was most interesting to hear Grandpa Levi tell tales of the winter of 1935, when his family was snowed in for a full month, or the year that there was an Iowa ice storm and they lost several cows because they would fall and couldn't get up. What a treasure to have Grandpa sharing some of his stories.
Though it was a bit hazy, we enjoyed seeing the sunset and then the city coming alive at night. There was even a full moon and some fireworks to add to the incredible nature of our visit. 
In one of those "what a small world" moments, as we were leaving the tower, in the waiting room they had only one coffee table book -- and it was titled "Unexpected Indiana." We laughed as we flipped through pictures of Shades States Park, Turkey Run, and Indiana Dunes while being in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Christmas decorations (note the snowflake on the window in the upper right) were also quite a fun addition to our wonderful dinner together.
