On Thanksgiving Day, Viki Payton invited a group of people over to her house for a feast. We each contributed something different; I brought rolls, and Emily made some amazing cranberry sauce.
We didn’t have the day off for the American holiday (since not all of our students and staff are Americans), so it didn’t feel quite like Thanksgiving until we spread the table with delicious smelling food and gathered around with thankful hearts. Viki has a tradition of placing 5 corn kernels at each person’s place; during the meal, we each say 5 unique things that we are thankful for – no repeats allowed! We have all been blessed in many ways.
After the meal and pumpkin pie, we watched the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving – another of Viki’s traditions!
Pardon the blurry pictures… more pictures of the people at this meal should be showing up on facebook soon!
