So....I cooked my first "all by myself" Thanksgiving meal this year on Thanksgiving Day. I (for some CRAZY reason) volunteered (TWO days before Thanksgiving) to cook Thanksgiving dinner for the RUF service team. I immediately asked for recipes from my mom and grandmothers and began the [rather challenging] search for all the ingredients I needed to cook/prepare turkey, sweet potato casserole, green beans, cranberry sauce, bread, and cheesecake. I was most nervous about cooking the turkey, but everything ended up wonderful...I did however, pray A LOT for my turkey! :)
During our meal we played the thankful alphabet game where we go around the table and each person gives thanks for something starting with the corresponding letter of the alphabet. It's a tradition in my family at Thanksgiving; however this was the first year I have ever played in Spanish. I really enjoyed the preparations, the meal, and Thanksgiving over all!!!





Here we are reenacting the 1st Thanksgiving (white Pilgrims and the savage Indians)
