Thanksgiving 2008

So many people ask us if we celebrate Thanksgiving in Japan... the answer is- most definitely! Although we celebrated a few days early (Monday was a Japanese holiday, so we took advantage of the day), we had a complete traditional T'giving feast. Thanks to Osaka having a Costco, we had two 18 lb turkeys ($30 each). We gathered with about 40 others at our church and had a great time feasting and fellowshipping.
The leaves - beautiful even when on the ground!
The best part of Thanksgiving was being "together" with the kids! Oh the joys of skype! The kids were in Boston at Amberly's apartment and we were here in Osaka. Sweet!
