Thanksgiving!

Ok, so in China they don't exactly celebrate Thanksgiving. You know the origin of it and all. They know about it, and in bigger cities, like ours they are gracious enough to have turkey's for sale around this time! So we bought one and the day was wonderful! We had 20 people over to our little apartment. We decided to have Thanksgiving on Saturday because everyone was teaching on Thursday. It was a blast, we all scrunched in and had fun! We ate a lot, but there wasn't much left to spare! Myself and Stan, Kyle and Rebecca Hooper, and Kris and Michael Bowen did most of the cooking. The visitors brought some desserts and such, but it was a job! I've never, ever cooked for that many people and I think we all did a pretty good job! Everyone had fun and we were pooped by the end of the day from all the fuss! I hope you can see the pictures on Facebook, but here are a few to let you enjoy! He loves smiling for pictures. This is before eating... And this is after!
Can you guess what this is?!
We were so thankful to have so many of our friends and brothers and sisters come spend time with us to give thanks for all the wonderful things we have! Thanks for reading and don't forget to think about me in China! I love you all!
