I just responded to your comment at my blog too, but then decided to come over and visit yours and was equally excited to get to read about YOUR lovely Thanksgiving!! :)

I had to laugh about your 'getting up early on holidays ... including your birthday' because i do the EXACT SAME THING! haha. Always have, and I imagine I always will. I think you're right, we just haven't totally 'grown up' yet! :)

I loved the marshmellow turkeys! Looks like you guys had a wonderful day!

What a wonderful day! Several times I have wondered if someone might someday partner with you to create a book about your experiences, based on blog posts like these, to publish and share your messages with a larger audience. Today was a winning chapter!

What a wonderful Thanksgiving!! I'm so glad that it went so nicely and you got to have all the "traditional" foods there. We do take it for granted don't we?

Thanks for being such a sweet friend, prayer warrior and an encouragement to our family~

I loved this post. We have very happy memories from our Thanksgivings in the Philippines. Even though we felt pangs of homesickness. I think part of the joy in a special international Thanksgiving was that we had to be resourceful in our ingredients. Just finding a Turkey was a huge success. For us we learned how to make a mock pumpkin pir from a squash. We finally talked one store into carrying cranberry sauce. Sweet pot casserole came from the same squash but we added nuts and marshmellows. In the end, there was far less stress involoved than in the States too. All those words to say, I understand those feelings you had. Making memories with our children is such a fun and important part of motherhood.
