A German Thanksgiving

By Ladyexpat
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year, if you celebrate Thanksgiving.  An illness struck our house after attending a retreat last weekend so we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving as a family.  We have so much to be thankful for - great family and friends both near and far, a warm house, a loving Savior, and good food to eat.

We made turkey hands a few weeks ago for Thanksgiving

To celebrate we ate lunch at our town's Greek restaurant. Their special of the day was Turkey Schnitzel.  It came with fries and a salad.  We shopped at Toys R Us to compare their prices with online prices for Blue Rock's Christmas presents.  We talked to our families back home and ate a traditional meal of ham, sweet potatoes, and green beans for dinner.  Several Germans have told me that they view sweet potatoes as pig food.  Oh well, I still love them!

We had a wonderful day and hope you and your family did too.  We also started potty training Blue Rock.  More news to come.  So far he is doing great!
