This post is a little late, but since we’re STILL thankful, I figured it would be okay to post a post-Thanksgiving post :). (How many times and different ways can YOU use “post” in a sentence?)
We had a very unique Thanksgiving this year! The staff wanted to celebrate, despite the fact that we were in a country that doesn’t recognize the holiday. The only problem? No one knew how to cook a turkey. So the Mobergs, turkey extraordinaires, spoke up and volunteered to cook the turkey for the staff and the Dominican family of 5 who would be joining us.
We prepped the turkey and put it into the oven.
- Brian, Elliott, and me preparing the turkey
Then we went for a swim!
- …because what else do you do while the turkey is cooking?
And then we got ready to eat!
- Carving the turkey!
We made the juicy turkey, bomb mashed potatoes, and boat loads of gravy. And–THANKFULLY–it all turned out quite deliciously!!
- Our plates! Mmmm!!
And here we all are, sooo stuffed!!!
- The Crew (Danny & Danae, we miss you!)
This was our…
…first Thanksgiving with our sweet baby Elliott!
…first Thanksgiving in a foreign country.
…first Thanksgiving where we went for a swim outside while the turkey cooked.
…first Thanksgiving where it was hot enough to wear a skirt to dinner.
…first Thanksgiving eating with a group of strangers who we now call friends!
Happy late Thanksgiving to you!
And a belated Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Susanne, I never doubted that you’d rise to the occasion and make a delicious dinner! You all look fabulous and are in our prayers every day. Give Elliott hugs from us.
Love, Aunt Paula xoxo
