It's that time of the year again. Hard to believe that this is our second Thanksgiving celebration in Shanghai. Matthew's class held a luncheon today for the families. Each of the kids had to prepare their favorite dish to share with the class. Matthew wanted to share cornbread since it was appropriate for the holiday. It was a different kind of Thanksgiving. Not the traditional turkey, gravy, cranberries and stuffing. The kids brought in sushi, dumplings, pumpkin muffins, sandwiches, pasta and buns. It didn't matter what we ate, but what we were thankful for. The kids each told the class what they were thankful for. It was unanimous. Family and friends. Oh yes, and a great teacher too! Our friend, Tony will be arriving from Hong Kong tomorrow evening. He'll be staying with us for a few days. We will have our Thanksgiving celebration at the clubhouse with Anne and her family. Though we can't be at the table with our loved ones in the States, it's really nice to have friends to celebrate with here in China.
So, we give thanks for all our family and friends and the love and support you've given us. We wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving. Remember us when you're passing the turkey to have a portion for us as well!
