Happy Thanksgiving! We did celebrate Thanksgiving this year...with our French turkey and all. I have never baked a turkey, so learning in Romania was quite an adventure. We just knew that we'd either cut into raw turkey or repeat the scene from the movie "Christmas Vacation" where its bone dry! But, it was delicious. We even got to indulge in sweet potatoes, green bean casserole (Jeff made fresh onion rings for the topping...never done that before either!) For dessert we got to enjoy pecan pumpkin pie....thank you family for sending the canned pumpkin! Jack helped me make an apple pie for an American family from church.
Jack talked all day long about cooking the turkey. He couldn't wait to have it finished! We tried to time our lunch for noon, when Jack normally eats. However, some things were running a bit behind and by 12:45 when we sat down to eat, Jack was just too exhausted to eat! Next time I will just feed him earlier and enjoy the meal during his nap:)
We caught Jack stirring the dressing...hahaha...somehow he was able to reach across the table and pull it towards himself...then began stirring it with his fork. Thanks for being our big helper Jack!
He wouldn't wear his pilgrim hat, but settled for his trusty leaf crown:)
Cheese!
Too tired!
After naptime we watched a bit of Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving movie online. He loved it! We really missed not being with all of our extended families again this year, but we are so thankful for all that the Lord has blessed us with. Jack gave the blessing just before the meal..."Dear Jesus, thank you for the day, thank you for the sunshine, thank you for mommy and daddy, thank you for the food, thank you for the bread, thank you for the turkey, thank you for our friends, thank you for the day, thank you for the sunshine, Amen!" I pray that your and your had a wonderful day as well.
