Thanksgiving
This past Sunday, with the help of another teacher friend, I hosted a Thankgiving potluck for any and all from CIS wishing to attend a feast. There were thirty-three of us in total, and we sure had a marvelously warm, pool side feast with our new family and friends.
Prior to our guests' arrival, decorations were layed out and created. I had bought a squash and collected leaves on a walk earlier in the day. Robyn brought some little pumpkins and dried corn. Andrea and Roger's children helped cut out snowflakes for those of us missing colder Thanksgiving weather.
Our twenty-five pounds of turkey were ordered from Mr. Ho at the American School. This came cut up, with stuffing on the side and boat loads of gravy. Everyone signed up for a dish or two to bring. Everything was fantastic. Some of my favorites aside from the turkey were the cranberry sauce, a sweet potato/orange/walnut dish and a special death by chocolate dessert.
Even the little ones enjoyed the festivities!
Even though their decorations didn't make the big leagues...Krista and Kim thoughtfully sent along special holiday napkins as reminders of home. These were much appreciated because I found ways they could be used
