OUR FIRST THANKSGIVING IN CHILE!

We were missing family, many familiar & favorite ingredients were nowhere to be found, but we were surrounded by wonderful friends and missionaries and had so much to be grateful for!

We cooked one turkey on the grill outside and one in the oven inside - leftovers are so important:)

Table set - ready for guests!

Let the feasting begin!!
One of our Assistants is from Santiago.  He thoroughly enjoyed this North American tradition!
He loved the food and enjoyed how we took turns expressing the things we were most grateful for.
He decided that this would be a good tradition for his future family - even in Chile!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch - this is what was happening among many of the grandkids in Arizona the day after Thanksgiving!  Those with the Turkey Shirts on got to be the targets!!

And our twins in Hawaii celebrated their 4th birthday on the beach at Waikiki the day before Thanksgiving -
 a happy day to be sure!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY APOLLO & ADONIS!!
