Turkey and Chocolate

Dear Family,

TURKEY! Happy belated Thanksgiving. I talked to many of you on Thursday and it sounded like you were either in the middle of cooking or taking a nap. My friends and I had a fun dinner togher. We invited some of our Belgium ,German, Canadian, and Irish friends over so all in all we had 22 people, 2 turkeys, and a table full of desserts. Of course, we had all the other neccessary dishes as well. I wanted to share the gravy song with them but didn't get the chance to. Don't worry, I sang it with Mom, Laurie, Tootsie, Evan, and BB through skype :)

I would also like to thank you for passing down the strong love and passion for not only music, arts, academics, adventures, and food, but most importantly chocolate. Thank you Judy for your very 'sweet' package :) I finally received it and I've enjoyed tasting all the treats! My friends will love you as much as I do when I share with them. Every April I get to enjoy one of my favorite kinds of chocolate in the shape of a Cadbury Egg. To my surprise, Ireland's version of Hershey's IS Cadbury! Needless to say, Cadbury and I have formed a special relationship that will end in sorrow as I get on the plane to come home.

In 2 days I go to Amsterdam! I get back on Tuesday and then I only have 3 days until I come home for Christmas! I will fill you in on my trip when I get back. Enjoy the week to come.

  1. Sounds like you had a wonderfully international day of Thanks! So glad you got folks together to celebrate. And I don't know the gravy song, so I must hear it sometime! :)
    Have fun with your continuing adventures! And hope school is finishing up as you would like...
    Time does fly, doesn't it. Just think what you've done since September!
    Here's a big hug, Sweetie Pie. Be well!
