Happy Thanksgiving! We had a pretty amazing Thanksgiving this year. Kevin and I sat down and made a list of people that we wanted to invite over for Thanksgiving this year. We sent out our invites and were excited to have a little over 30 people at our house for Thanksgiving.
Kylee and Emily made the dinner rolls and 12 layer jello. It is so wonderful having these little ladies here to help me make the Thanksgiving dinner. Not only does it take off a big load for me, but it makes cooking in the kitchen all day so much fun. We turn on our favourite songs and sing nice and loud while we roll, knead, and bake.
The kids had a fun time making name tags and setting up the different tables. They put the fine China on the adult table, the cute Thanksgiving paperwork for the teens and then the coloured paper plates for the littles. They made the name tags out of coloured paper and made cute turkeys and then printed out everyone's names.
I think what made this Thanksgiving so much fun was that we did have so many people. We realised our house is simply amazing for holding big groups. We were able to have a space for each of the different age groups. All the adults were upstairs at our normal table. We all fit perfectly. The teens and tweens were downstairs in the stube in their own little area. They all really appreciated having their own area.
We then had a table for the kids around Little A's age and then we used our Korea table for all the about 3 year olds. The Korea table was so perfect because it is low to the ground, so we didn't have to worry about finding more chairs and we didn't have to worry about the little kids falling out of chairs. It we so perfect. We have so much to be thankful for this year and the Lord has showered down blessing on us. It has been a wonderful year and I am so grateful for the opportunity to live overseas and I am so grateful for all our friends.
