Happy Thanksgiving


We were quite busy getting ready for our BIG Thanksgiving Feast away from home! This was our first...yes first Thanksgiving away from our families. This year we had dinner with 44 members of our new family! What a great time we had together. A second year student, Liz, and I planned for our dinner that would take place at 6 pm Thanksgiving Evening. We had classes as usual because in Canada it was just another day. I started baking and cooking at Noon and along with everyone bringing food we had quite a feast. What a wonderful evening we had and so thankful for the relationships that we are able to build. Oh, we ate...turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, green beans, cranberry sauce and bread...and lots and lots and lots of dessert! YUM!
