A wonderful (and yummy) Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from Belgium!

Let's see, what are we thankful for this year?? We pondered the question over breakfast this morning and this is what we came up with...

Jo: "I am thankful for my wonderful husband, beautiful children, knowing Mom and Dad are in good health/spirits and the many travel adventures we are experiencing here in Europe."

Ray: "I am thankful for my family, friends, our health and for this opportunity to experience Europe together."

DS: "My family and dipping my fingers into this yummy Nutella." (Nutella is a chocolate spread we discovered here in Belgium)

PS: "The apple I am eating."

In addition, we are thankful to have made special friends here in Belgium. Our American friends, Amy and Justin (and their two children), invited us over for a traditional Thanksgiving meal including a full roasted turkey! Check out the menu -- everything was delish!! And made from scratch -- including the strawberry rhubarb, pumpkin and apple pies!!

DS and PS had so much fun playing with their buddy AC that they did not want to leave. But, alas, it was getting late and Friday was a school/work day here in Belgium.

Mommy even had time to pop into DS' classroom earlier in the day to help out with a Thanksgiving project with two other American mom's...

Each child wrote what they were thankful for on turkey feathers, which were later attached to the turkey. I guess DS is thankful for a little more than Nutella after all...
