Without the Atchley family (who moved back to the States this summer), we weren't sure what to do for Thanksgiving. Penny and Dave had so nicely invited us, along with several other families, to have Thanksgiving dinner at their amazing house last year. The thought of having dinner with just our little family seemed a bit boring, so we decided to invite families to our house this year. It was quite the group (12 adults and 15 kids) but it was fun and there was a TON of yummy food to go around. I took a few pictures before everyone came and then set my camera down and forgot about it the rest of the evening. Thanks to Alma who shared her pictures with me.

The adult tables

The kids all sat together at these tables that we rented from our community

A few of the dishes people brought. FYI:the sweet potatoes were to die for!
The cooks: Suzy, Christina, Alma, Sarah, Aimee and Jessi
The kids working on turkey and the fixings:
Jakob, Henry and Evan
Claire, Elsa, Ruby and Asia

I don't think you needed us there--it looks like the party was a huge success! The turkey looks perfect! Did you end up getting it at Carrefour or did Jesse get one at the Army Base for you? Looks like tons of fun, and made me miss Thanksgiving with friends in Switzerland!
