We were invited to Butch and Dawn's for Thanksgiving and were surrounded by warmth and welcome. It was definitely a home away from home!Dawn converted her living room into a restaurant-style sestting. She has incredible attention to detail and had gorgeous place settings and Apple-Turkey center pieces.
The food was AMAZING! It was quite the spread! There was amazing home-made cranberry sauce, home-whipped mashed potatos, some of the best corn-bread I've ever had, and a dessert table that made go back for thirds and fourths!
The kids were adorable. They dressed up as Indian Princesses and played pin-the-tail on the turkey.
The best part of the evening were when we split out to play games. We decided on Junior Pictionary and I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life. Bob and Andrea are definitely one of my favorite couples. They have this amazing witty, sarcastic banter that just kept me cracking up.
One of the highlights was when Arun tried to draw 'iceberg.'
He decided to draw an ice bucket... then a shovel.... then what looked like little puddles.
[yeah, you had to be there...]
Nonetheless, we have been incredibly lucky to have had such wonderful people take us into their fold. We're definitely thankful for this community out here in Ukraine!
Just got a Flickr link for some more pictures
