Well, though Saturday (our "Bulgarian" Thanksgiving) has come and gone, we are still working on the leftovers. What a lovely thing. As we continue to benefit from the long day of cooking and prep, we are reminded of how thankful we are for how God has given us everything we've needed this past year...
Faith - how to live in a place for God when all else pushes you the opposite direction. We've failed many times, but He's been a great Teacher & is showing us how to have solid faith in Him through anything.
Friends - whether online or in person, we've been so blessed by our buddies! We are especially thankful that the Djatov's joined us Saturday to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Family - our family is so supportive & shows their love for us even from this far away. We enjoy our skype sessions, and, now that we think about it, are very thankful for skype!
Food - a very enjoyable thing, but also very necessary. God has continually provided for us, whether through our jobs/money or through friends being generous in their garden harvest. Thanksgiving was truly bountiful and enjoyable!
And, since we all love a good picture or two, here's a snapshot into our second Thanksgiving this year:

The girls worked the kitchen (since we both love to cook, we were a perfect team!)...
while the boys played some serious Wii on the big screen, working up an appetite.
And, after all the hard work (cooking & Wii), we wined and dined!
We can't communicate well enough how blessed we really are! Thank you, Djatov's, for celebrating with us!
