Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we hosted some of the people that work with Ryan as well as a few of our American friends. It came to a total of 18 people (14 adults and 4 kids). It was perfect, because that was exactly how many chairs I had!

A few months ago Ryan saw they had turkeys at the PX, so he just decided to grab the biggest one they had....it was 28lbs! Here is the before picture:

We are very glad he grabbed it when he did though. The only turkeys that were left the week before Thanksgiving were tiny little breasts.

The cooking all went according to plan and the turkey was done right on time.

The kids looked so cute and they were so excited for all the company to come.

We had the obligatory kids table, which meant they had a lot of fun, but didn't eat a whole lot!

It was just a wonderful day with such a great group of people, and we were so thankful that they all chose to spend the day with us.

We feel so blessed and thankful this year that we have so many great friends in such a foreign land.
