Being a cultural ambassador of my country is something that I take rather serious. When it comes to the idea of exposing my little ones to new things and American traditions, I try my hardest to not only make it fun, but memorable.
Hand-print turkeys... A tradition in most American classrooms... They had a blast!
I think we can all agree that FOOD is one of the most important things when discussing the topic of Thanksgiving. There was no way I could prepare an entire meal with my limited resources... But with those available I was able to have a lesson on how to make mashed potatoes. They were so eager to involved. Cutest thing ever.
Did I mention how much they LOVED the mashed potatoes?
Spending the holidays away from family is never fun. Luckily, I was blessed to have an amazing group of friends and we got together to celebrate a not-so-traditional Thanksgiving. We didn't have turkey or pumpkin pie... But one thing that was definitely not lacking is love and appreciation for each other.
My mouth is watering as I look at these pictures!
Macaroni and cheese... I think this is the thing we we MOST excited about. It truly is about the "small things" in life.
Post-dinner shenanigans with amazing people.
Our "recovery" meal the next morning. Epic.
