Our Second Thanksgiving

Our neighbors hosted the meal.  We had lots of great food.  Thankfully the turkey I cooked turned out well.  We also provided ham and a peanut butter struesel pie. 
Here's a shot of Uncle Blake telling the Thanksgiving story to the herd of kids!
After they ate the kids came over to our house and watched Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving while eyeing the dessert table.  They also sang a little song that they learned at school and they ate up most of the desserts.  Thanks everyone for joining us!  We had  a great time and loved getting to know some of you a little better.

Our First School Thanksgiving

Our table and some of its members.
The row of turkey carvers!
We really enjoyed our first school Thanksgiving.  Because there is so many staff and families, they divide you up into tables.  The school provided turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy.  Your table members can then decide what else you want to eat at your table.  The turkeys are shipped in from Shanghai!  They had activities for the kids to do before it all started which gave the parents time to chat.  The turkey was great and our table members were really fun to get to know better.  Well done team that put it all together.  It was a lot of work, but really enjoyable!
