Happy Thanksgiving

Here in China we celebrated Thankgiving on Saturday. The kids had a half day of school on Thursday and all day off on Friday, but David had to work the whole week. We had some of our friends invite us over for a delicious Thanksgiving feast with turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, broccoli, and rolls. Then of course, there was pumplin pie, sour cream lemon pie and cookies. It was so yummy and all were full half way through since there was soooo much food!!!

The kids all had a blast playing with their friends. We saw them only when it was time to eat and again when the dessert was brought out. They came in long enough to grab a plate and head off outside again.

We got to meet new people and make new friends.

We are truly grateful for everything we have. We have been blessed with a wonderful opportunity to live here in China and teach our children about another culture and to be friends with all people in this world. We have been able to see a whole new part of the beautiful world our Heavenly Father has created for us. We have made tons of new friends that we will cherish forever. We also have realized how greatful we are for friends and family in the US that we had to leave behind for a short while. We have been blessed this year and we are so grateful for everything we have received. We hope your Thanksgivings were as fun and delicious as our was!!!!
