We were invited to celebrate a late Thanksgiving with our friends, at their house. It was an amazing spread and the kids were pretty excited about having Turkey. As we were driving to the house, they were listing off traditional Thanksgiving foods they were hoping would be on the table. There are times when I really think my kids are American - they know so much of the culture! Hopefully, some of you can share in these foods when we are in England next year. We have grown to love pumpkin pie for instance - so maybe it's not just our kids who have been inculturated!
The real highlight for our kids, though, was the trampoline in the back garden. They had a lot of fun bouncing on that (Naomi wanted me to com eon with her but I told her that was a very bad idea as I had a very full tummy!) and when we decided it was time for the adults to play a game, the host's Wii was brought out to great acclaim.
I do love the idea of celebrating the things we are thankful for in our lives and especially taking time to recognise all that God has given us.
