Wow. What a day. This has been an amazing Thanksgiving! 2 days of cooking like a mad lady! Kathy and I split the food between us, and it was STILL a lot of cooking! The food was all good(and yes, I NAILED the turkey! I mean, NAILED IT!), but that wasn't what made it great for us.
We invited 5 Peruvians, only one of them had experienced "American Thanksgiving". We also had 2 sub contractors for the Temple come. One from Mexico( this was also his first Thanksgiving) and one American. We're glad we were able to catch Doug to celebrate with us, since he missed it with his family!
We feasted and laughed and talked for 2 hours. We shared with them the tradition of saying what we are grateful for. It was all in Spanish (Kathy and I had our trusty, attractive translators help us out.) There was a very good feeling in the room. The Peruvians loved the tradition, and had a great time. It was WONDERFUL!
Then, it took 2 hours for a whole group of us to clean the kitchen and Rob to do ALL the dishes ,(because we don't have a dishwasher). It was all so worth it!!!
This was a day we will always remember.
Sadly I took only one picture that day-I was too busy in the kitchen. Bummer!
