Thanksgiving



I know, Thanksgiving is long past, but if I don't say something now I never will....since Christmas is only a week away!
I can't believe how fast time flies! Anyhoo...I'm rambling again.

We had a great Thanksgiving again this year. It is so much fun to celebrate with our friends here and share with them why we celebrate. Finding all the ingredients has gotten easier. 10 years ago we couldn't get all the stuff, but now we can, so we can have a completely traditional dinner!

We had 22 adults and 10 kids this year, so we had dinner in our youth cafe at church because we wouldn't have all fit here at home. I had a ton of help!! I would not have been able to prepare for that number of people with out it! A friend from Heidelberg was here and she helped out alot through out the week. And another friend from church was here the day before and helped with all the pies and stuffing and everything. And others made things to bring, I am just responsible for the 'American' things.

We are so blessed here by the people God has placed around us to be our friends (and phamily). We have so much to be thankful for and it was awesome to share the time with our friends. It was a great night of fellowship. Thanks to all those who helped make it possible, you are great!!
