POD-191: Happy Thanksgiving

Living in Belgium has never stopped us from celebrating with a nice American-style feast for Thanksgiving. This year we got together with my other American friend in the neighborhood and made a nice dinner for a few of our close friends. We fixed all the traditional dishes with a turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, corn pudding, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and of course pumpkin pie with fresh whipped cream.

I was feeling thankful for so many wonderful things this year early in the week, but then kind of had the rug swept out from under my feet making me think about things a bit differently. In the end, getting together with one of my greatest friends was not only exactly what I needed, but really put things back into perspective.




Morgan was in charge of the green beans. She helped me snap them all in half and made the dressing. I asked her how many she was going to eat since she helped make them and she told me "one." In the end she ate 5 whole green beans.


Noah was quite patient while we spent the whole day cooking.


Morgan and Thomas.


Morgan was happy to share kitty with Noah, but didn't quite like him being thrown on the floor.
