Thanksgiving

This was one of the best Thanksgivings ever. Despite my bad cold that left me bed ridden for a few days, I was well enough by Thanksgiving to shop and prepare dinner all day long. My friends and I decided to cook for our host families and share this U.S. tradition. Between the 4 of us and our families, we had to prepare for 20 people. The food was strange for our familes, but they ate all of it down to the bones of the Turkey. Before we ate, everyone went around the room and said one thing they were greatful for. I have never done that in the U.S. so I felt like we really captured the spirit of giving thanks, family, and friends.
