Another Thanksgiving in Abu Dhabi. I can hardly believe this makes 3. The day was chaotic, as most days seem to be. I was cooking and relaxing and listening to music when suddenly...our guests arrived! Yikes, this has been a lot of fun but I still need to bathe, peel potatoes, cook the yams, make the gravy, carve the turkey, make a chocolate pie.......
Luckily, our guests were the Oswalds, my good friends Jennifer and her two boys. So I just put her to work doing all the yucky stuff while I had a bath...(Not really that bad, Thanks Jennifer). She seemed to take it all in stride. It's more fun to cook with a friend anyway.
Jennifer and her two kids and husband just moved here in August. However, Jennifer and I met on the www thanks to my blog. Jennifer was preparing to move her family around the world and through a trusty Google search ran across the abudhabicooks blog. After that we were pen-pals or keyboard pals whatever you wish. They now live here and we did our best to help them enjoy their first Thanksgiving abroad. We also had a new couple from our church, Jason and Camille. (No kids for them yet.) We also had our friends from the compound and church, Lynne and Christina. It all worked out. We all over ate and had great conversation. Another Thanksgiving come and gone. Another year of blessings of great family, fabulous friends, and good health to be grateful for. We are truly blessed and truly thankful EVERYDAY of the YEAR.
