On Thursday we had school and so instead of rice and chicken for lunch, we had rice, chicken (which we pretended was turkey) AND mashed potatoes mixed with gravy! Yum, yum, yum. Though I'm sure the majority of our kids would have preferred just normal rice mixed in with some fish sauce, they all tried the new foreigner food. Some liked it, some hated it and some questioned why on earth we were eating baby food. Nevertheless, it was a fun meal time and it reminded us all of the family we have become.
On Friday we had the day off school and an evening celebration at our boss' house. The day consisted of a long lie and mashed potato making! While I am not a huge fan of the photo, I would just like to share the amount of potatoes peeled, cut, boiled and mashed!
We arrived and helped to set up and serve and of course enjoy a DELICIOUS thanksgiving meal! Turkey, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, hot cider, stuffing, pumpkin pie and of course, mashed potatoes! So scrumptious!
Then we all sang songs together, with our Thai staff and friends, and talked and laughed and played with some adorable children.
Room mate Brittany, myself and the 4th Grade Thai teacher Nida. :)
Feeding the most adorable little girl the whole of my cherry pie. Talk about sacrifice!
Such sweeties!
Though I am not American, nor do I celebrate thanksgiving on a yearly basis, I most definitely have a lot to be thankful for.
