Thanksgiving meal at church again this year. Always a pleasure to have a little taste of home with my "Korean family." ^^Bonus: I got to have some even BETTER thanksgiving food in a real home with my friend and former co-worker Nancy! Yay!
Her husband is from FL, so even though she's Canadian they pulled off American thanksgiving American-style. = YUM
They even had candied yams... the one thing my church thanksgiving was missing. hehe
It's a little sad that this will be my last Thanksgiving in Korea, but then I remember all the joys of American living... ;)
This year (and this moment) I'm thankful for:
-friends that are stand-in family
-candied yams
-being able to live so "extravagantly" in Korea
-being able to travel on a whim
-friends from home that miss me
-my mistakes not coming back to bite me in the butt
-God's faithfulness, love and grace

For my classroom celebration, I had the kids make hand-turkeys. It was SO cute. ^^ Not only had they never seen a turkey before in their lives, but they were not aware of the "hand-turkey" Thanksgiving tradition. I had a lot of fun teaching them how to do it. It's nice to pass on the tradition. ;) Ahhh... nostalgia.
