Thanksgiving in Hungary was a little different than in the States. Chelsea was out of school, but Larry had to work. Boo. The kids and I made the most of our day, making a thankful tree (in which Chelsea was thankful for herself), and we made this little guy....
Thanksgiving food is hard to find here, so we let the Marriott do most of the work. I made a few sides that we love at Thanksgiving. Larry requested a corn casserole, and, to me, it is not Thanksgiving without sweet potatoes! They are also hard to find here, but we finally found a few. It was $5 for 3 tiny sweet potatoes, and another $5 for a bag of marshmallows (don't have those here, either!) to go on top. It was worth it!
Our nice turkey dinner showed up in a taxi, gift wrapped in this nice box.
We had a nice spread,
and our sweet friends the McLendon's came over to celebrate with us. We were thankful for friends to share the evening with!
Cade was thankful for his pumpkin pie......
Chelsea and Claudia had a dance party after dinner....
Thanks again for hosting... and your sides were fabulous! We had so much fun. Also, is that turkey made of peanut butter? If so... where did you find it?!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's me (Meryl) who just made that comment. I think Russell's still logged in. But he sends his thanks as well. =)
ReplyDeleteYes, that is a peanut butter turkey. I still have some from the jar I brought. But, I have 2 jars from here that someone gave us - you are welcome to one of them if you want it. Tesco sells a generic brand on the international aisle.
