This year though, this year I think we got it right. We started out on Thursday with a Thanksgiving party at the kids school:
Do you see my little indian?
(Oh, the irony that she is actually Indian, but not that kind of indian!)
We had a potluck lunch with the kids and then helped them do crafts
On Kwaj, we celebrate most of our holidays a day after they're celebrated in America. Since we're actually a day ahead, that means that we celebrate on the same day you do. We had Friday off and we had a great morning with the kids. D and I both got good runs in and then I took the kids to a friends house for a play date. That evening we got together at Emon beach for the mother of all potluck dinners. Everyone brought their favorite Thanksgiving food, the kids played at the beach, and once the sun had set and the flies went down, we feasted. It was wonderful! Since everyone brought a little bit, no one had to work too hard, the kids were always entertained by each other, there was always someone to talk to, and at the end we all helped with clean up. We all had so much fun and I hope this becomes a tradition.
The whole group
