Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! How about you? This year we hosted for the second time in our lives (and I've still never done the turkey!) and it turned out really well. We had 18 people crammed into our little apartment but it worked fabulously. Our guests of honor were a family of Iraqi refugees that Jimmy has gotten to know over the past several months (unfortunately only two of their four children were able to come). We also had three other families from our neighborhood join us. The four seminary families were in charge of all of the food and someone commented on how it was all done really well. Our Iraqi guests seemed to like most of it--they got a great introduction to American Thanksgiving!

People, this is the way to do mashed potatoes. 10 lbs of potatoes + four sticks of butter + 2 packages of cream cheese + salt & pepper = a heart attack named YUMMY!

My first Thanksgiving with snow.

The tables are set!

Rafik and his amazing turkey.

Everyone loves Toby :)

We're pretty sure a good time was had by all!
