Thanksgiving Celebrations!

Food, food, food, fellowship and fun!!  That was our Thanksgiving week!  And, yes, it was almost an entire week of cooking, eating, laughing, and giving thanks!!!

We had 17 of our friends join us on Thanksgiving for a huge feast.  It was a blast!  Lots of food, lots of laughter, and lots of fun!  Two guys even brought their guitars, and we sang all sorts of songs!  So thankful for all of our friends!





Then we headed north to be with our colleagues.  We all brought our leftovers from Thursday celebrations, and we still ended up bringing home leftovers!  We had a great time - food, fun and fellowship!  We also laughed over a silly sci-fi show about giant sharks and crocodiles!  Awesome!  We also played games like Apples to Apples, Pit and Settlers.  Great Thanksgiving!



The giant crocodile!!  Oh no!!!

Then, on Sunday morning, the ladies all woke up early and headed to Budapest for an overnight shopping trip!  The malls, Tesco, Ikea, Auchan, Decathlon, KFC, Mexican food,....lots of laughter, stories, shopping, fun, fun, fun!!! 
We saw this doggie when we stopped at a gas station.  Love the sweater!  :)

Lots of purchases!
The first question was: Will it all fit?  The second question was: What will the customs officer at the border think?  Thankfully, we breezed through customs!!!  Thank you, Lord!
This Thanksgiving left me with many, many more things to thank the Lord for!  He is so good!  We are so thankful for our Serbian family and friends!  We got to talk with all of the kids as they spent Thanksgiving where they were, and, while we missed them terribly, we are so thankful that they are exactly where God wants them to be!  We look forward to having Kelli and Scott here for Christmas!  More to give thanks for!
