Thanksgiving in China...



Hi Everyone!

Sorry we haven't added anything new to the blog lately... not much exciting as happened! I hope everyone had a fun and safe Thanksgiving break. We had a little Thanksgiving celebration here in China as well...

A bunch of foreign teachers at our school decided to host a Thanksgiving potluck dinner at our dormitory. Each person (or couple) offered to make some kind of dish for dinner. We had homemade pumpkin and apple pie, biscuits, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, broccoli casserole, apple sauce, cranberry sauce, and corn on the cob. Our oven wasn't big enough to actually cook a turkey so we ordered buckets of KFC chicken and a few foot long turkey sandwiches from Subway. Many people contributed bottles of wine for dinner as well. Needless to say, we had a KFC Thanksgiving feast. Everything turned out really well (surprisingly) and we had a blast. There were roughly 16 people at dinner with a few Thanksgiving new-bees. Our friends from the UK and a few Chinese friends joined us and it was their first time celebrating Thanksgiving... we showed them how it was done!

Hope everyone is getting excited for the holiday season, I know I am. Love and miss you all! We will post more updates soon!
