I think that Chloé enjoyed her first Thanksgiving. When seeing the food spread out on the table, she commented that her teachers in her English classes said American Thanksgivings looked like that, but nobody believed them. She was excited to share pictures with her family and friends.
The meal was wonderful and will be providing delicious leftovers for days to come. All of the pies—which includes two pumpkin pies, a caramel Dutch apple, and Janelle’s famous dark chocolate meringue—turned out beautifully.
After dinner, Chloé left with another host family to Anchorage to experience a full American Black Friday. Meanwhile, after cleaning up, the rest of us played a couple of board games and are now heading to bed. We are getting up early: me and the boys for Black Friday shopping, and Janelle for Black Friday working.
I am thankful for so many things this year. Having this day go so well is certainly one of them.
