After feeling so cheated getting sick in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner last year, I was more than ready for a redo this year! We ended up with 32 people joining us for an evening of friendship, grateful hearts, and happy tummies.
Thank goodness Jenny helped me decorate this year because I was a little at a loss with so many tables and chairs and dishes!
We had a big, happy group together with kids from 5 to 18 years old.
It may not be in America, but this is the closest to home we'll get all year! Two turkeys cooked by an East Texas friend, dressing and gravy from our own Texas chef, and lots of other delicious sides from American, Dutch, and Swedish friends.
And of course, it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without plenty of desserts and at least one beautiful cake from Amanda!
We even had real Cool Whip from embassy friends! Didn't matter that it was in the freezer since last year...it was perfect.
Our hearts were really full and we were so thankful our friends joined us for our favorite meal of the year.
And in keeping with the times, 3 of us tested positive for Covid the next day! Clearly it was coming for all of us, so we're glad we got together and enjoyed ourselves. By the end of the next week, it had been through the entire high school.
