A Thanksgiving Party

I think I can dub this Thanksgiving as the best I've had in three years. My roommate and I woke up early to begin meal preparations. We had invited several of our Chinese tutors to come a celebrate with us. Bethany made chicken (no turkey available), bacon-wrapped green beans, and magically-delicious pumpkin pie. I made mashed potatoes and gravy, cornbread dressing, and yeast rolls.

With our tutors and our feast!

When our guests first went through the line, they put just a tablespoon of each dish on their plates, sampling to see what they would like. Then, after sampling, they went back to the table and filled up their plates like a boss!

My first tutor has an adorable little girl who loved the party. She helped make the whipped cream, and loved helping to put up the Christmas tree.

While decorating, we put on some Christmas music and danced around the living room. It was such a fun afternoon!
