Thanksgiving

It's hard to believe this is the third Thanksgiving I've celebrated in China! This year was very simple - just had dinner with our closest Chinese friends. A half Western/half Chinese meal. And as always, we ended up with way too much food.

















Brad and I made green bean casserole (with so many substitutions who knows what it really was, but it was good), mashed potatoes, stuffing, tons of rolls, deviled eggs, and pumpkin pie. We rented a room at the reception center on campus and ordered some Chinese dishes so no one would starve if they hated our food. :) We went to Wuhan last weekend to scope out a turkey but saw that they were 300-400 yuan! So we skipped out on the turkey this year. It's so hard to cook one here anyway since our ovens are toaster ovens. So since we had no turkey, we ordered chicken at the restaurant. Please notice the head. Bet your turkey didn't look like that!
















It was a nice, relaxing meal with some of my favorite people. So much to be thankful for here.
