Thanksgiving Celebration

Saturday, November 29th, we celebrated Thanksgiving with 22 adults and 22 children at our home!   It was a beautiful sunny day and the festivities began at 4pm and ended at 10:30pm.
For 1/2 of the families, this was their first Thanksgiving celebration.  Many had never had pumpkin pie, ambrosia, corn casserole, green bean casserole and never ever cooked a turkey that big! It is hard to find big turkey's here in Australia and they aren't cheap.  It was definitely a festive time.  The kids had so much fun with each other swimming and playing.  Towards the end of the night there were fireworks  we viewed from our neighbor's porch that the local fairgrounds put on. How fun to have that as an end to our celebration!  We are so Thankful for all that God provided for us that day. Wish you were all there with us.
