Celebrating Thanksgiving with Nationals

Many of our friends here are fascinated by our Thanksgiving. Some have dropped subtle hints wanting to get an insider's view of this very American holiday. So, this year we decided to invite two families who seemed to be the most interested. Since, of course, the actual Thanksgiving Thursday is not a holiday here, we decided to celebrate on the Saturday before. We had several American dishes (pecan pie, frozen pecan pie, green bean casserole, turkey, dressing, corn casserole, etc.).  I also made biscuits from scratch for the first time! After we stuffed ourselves, we all made hand turkeys. B was asked to give the history behind Thanksgiving. What a wonderful day giving thanks!

Before the festivaties began, LG donned her winter hat, grabbed her orm and notebook, and "took a nap".  Even after her nap, she decided her hat looked good with her Alabama cheerleading outfit.  :)
