THANKSGIVING IN DENMARK

Bright and early in the morning on Saturday Jen started the turkeys(yes, plural) cooking.
Basting, basting, basting!
Relaxing on a day to celebrate how thankful we are!

Allan and Emma trying to decide what to do next…
Go Jen Go!
Their bedroom is now a beautiful “dining room” ready for 25 people
Emma, Jen, and I drinking our hard cider and cooking away.
Allan carving the first turkey—it was so good that there were NO LEFTOVERS!
Jen made a beautiful array of traditional food: stuffing, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and green bean casserole.
Our lovely hosts Jen and Allan.
Some of the guests enjoying the good food and good company. We even got everyone to say what they were thankful for this year.
Eek—the day after—we all slept in until 12 then ate pizza to help recover from a very long night, last night (those Danes are amazing, they didn’t leave until 2am)!

We were blessed to enjoy the weekend in Copenhagen to celebrate Thanksgiving with Jen and Allan and Emma (our friend from PLU who lives in Switzerland) and some of their Danish friends. It was a wonderful weekend and we felt so thankful to be around people who are so kind and generous. We will remember this year's Thanksgiving forever.
