Thanksgiving Holiday

We are very blessed to have special friends here to share our American holidays with.  This year for Thanksgiving, we invited one of Michael and Rachel’s Taiwanese friends, along with two other families in our community and a last minute addition, Melanie (a gal I met in line at the post office, who has only been in our city three months).   We were able to get a turkey from vendors here who import from the States.  I was so excited that it even had a pop-up timer!   The taste of turkey is so yummy, when you only get it once a year.

The kids had to go to school for half the day on Thanksgiving Day, so we decided to celebrate a day later, on Friday.  Jessie and Maddie helped me cook some desserts.
