Thanksgiving Part 2

To read about the first part of my Thanksgiving you can click here --> read me first. Because some Lebanese friends invited us to dinner on Thursday we had our more traditional American meal on Friday.

We planned our dinner for 3 which meant I got to sleep in :)! Me and all three of my roommates needed to use the world's smallest oven which meant I actually had to get up a little earlier than I wanted to start cooking. Luckily we made it work and got all of our food ready on time.

Our meal was so delicious! Everyone made their favorites from home. Here are some pictures of the food.





We ate the dessert to quickly to get pictures! We had apple pie, pumpkin pie, turtle cheesecake, apple cider, pecan pie, and a lively conversation about how to pronounce pecan. 

Ready to eat!

After dinner we played a game my friend Jackie created for us called "Thanksgiving Olympics," a series of games based on some of each of our family traditions. It was so much fun! The game based on my tradition was called cousins. Each team had to write a skit about cousins getting to together for Thanksgiving.
We all watched "Madea Goes to Jail" and then spilt up the leftovers and headed home. After cleaning up and talking to my dad and Liz I finally got to bed. It was another great day!
