I would say happy thanksgiving but it has already past. lol So happy holidays... can't wait to say Merry Christmas. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I love watching people at the mall and stores. Everyone seems to be in a great mood. The weather is usually great. Whether in Florida or TN. I love winter! I love seeing happy people walk around with their shopping bags and something hot in their hands.
Anyways we had a great thanksgiving. There was a team here from Canada so we joined them on thanksgiving day for a Safari. It was a great time. Even through our flat tire on the journey. The team brought us some awesome Christmas presents for the kids. They are going to have an awesome Christmas. God is so good to us. Even though i can't go shopping at a mall or my favorite store Target i am okay with that this year. :)
Oyeah about our thanksgiving dinner. We had lunch with some of our closest friends here in Kigali. They are missionaries with YWAM. We feel so blessed to have friends that have been so close. It is so hard sometimes to get close to people in the ministry and we are thankful for them. So on the YWAM compound/base they have live turkeys. Nick went in the morning to pick out the turkey, brought it to our house and here it was killed, cleaned and cooked. It was and interesting experience for sure. When i was preparing the turkey I was making sure it was extra clean so i was examining it once more. I pulled on what i thought was fat and it apparently was the small intestine. EWWW it was wiggly and freaked me out. Ahhh the joys of preparing your own meat!! All in all is was good. A little tough but good. Especially with all the other food we had with it.
Out house is beginning to look a little like Christmas. Our tree is up and the train is around it. The kids are loving the feel of Christmas.
Okay all for now. I love all yall! and remember... love on family members and friends this season.... i would LOVE to :)
