We were privileged to have 8 of Daryl's friends/students from WSU over to experience the American Holiday of Thanksgiving with Americans! Our kids sure enjoyed hearing their Daddy get called, "Teacher, Teacher!" =) (Which Daryl says all of the TESOL students call them!)
Here we all are at the stretched-out table! (from 2 different angles!)The Lord helped and we so enjoyed our time together! 1st time for most of them to even taste American Home Cookin! Pumpkin Pie and Apple Pie too were enjoyed by all, especially with plenty of Whipped Cream! =)
After dinner we had fun times of playing games & music! Here Bryan is showing them some of his cars! Their English was very good, can't say as much for our learning Chinese, though! =)
This pic isn't turned right... but it was such a cultural memory for the kids they had to have a shot of everyone's shoes left at the front door!
Here one of the girls was so enthralled with the hair style of a "Curly Bun" and thought I had naturally curly hair! So we promised after Dinner to "show her" how easy it was to do with NO CURLS!
We all enjoyed the "Gift of GIVING" on our Thanksgiving day!
As a 1st... Daryl took the girls "BLACK-Friday SHOPPING!"... this was a 4 a.m. so pardon the "square eyes"!!!
And the day was ended watching Downtown Tree lighting ceremony and fireworks... and it
was is officially the Christmas Season!!!

What a special table and handsome guests. Your dinning room looked so pretty even if the window trim is not complete. I love you old house and would love one like it only . . . already fixed! With that many for dinner it is a good thing, Laura that you had lots of help.
What a nice Daddy to get up at 4:00AM and go shopping. I think it so fun that the girls caught up with their tired friends that had been out shopping since midnight! I love you all, Moma
It looks like you guys had fun! I am glad that they got to spend time w/ you! Love you guys, kimberly
Enjoyed seeing these pictures of your beautiful time with your guests on Thanksgiving day. Everything looked pretty and delicious!
Natasha, Brittany, and their Daddy all looked very nice for it being THAT EARLY in the morning...heading out to go shopping. =)
Sarah had a very happy birthday! Now, I must go finish packing to head to Uraguay early tomorrow morning.
Love y'all,

What a wonderful time it looks like you all had! I'd have loved to have been there too.
And way to go, Dad, in taking your girls shopping so early.
Love and miss you all,
Phillip and family
