Thanksgiving 2009

We hosted this year's Thanksgiving Feast. I was so busy getting things ready that I didn't take any pictures. Thankfully, Jon remembered to take a few. There were 20 of us this year. We had my family of seven, Jon's parents and his sister, a retired man from the States who has decided to live in Trujillo, five teachers from the MK school in Lima who came to visit to get to know Trujillo and a new missionary family from another mission.

We had the traditional turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato bake, vegetables, rolls, cranberry sauce, drinks, pumpkin, pecan and apple pie and several other good desserts. We were stuffed by the end of the day.

I also made two batches of homemade frappaccino for the visitors to try. Several liked it and asked for the recipe.

Jon prepared a one-hour song and thanksgiving time between the meal and the dessert. Several of us took a nice long walk around the park after the dessert. Then we split into groups and played table games.
