Hi Friends! It's been a long time since my last blog. The past few weeks have been crazy. Because of that, I have tons of things to write about but no time to write about them. I am so thankful for a low key Saturday where I can drink vanilla tea, wear my South Carolina t-shirt (Go Gamecocks!), and tell you about my Thanksgiving in Lebanon.

10:00am Woke up, got dressed and met some friends at Krispy Kreme!
Elam quickly decided on the doughnut he wanted...a plain glazed. I think Hudson ate two chocolate ones with sprinkles!
11:30am American Football! Well, 4 on 4 two hand touch football.
1:00pm A very American lunch at McDonalds.
Some Lebanese friends invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner (Thanksgiving is an American holiday so our friends put this dinner together just for us) so over the next few hours, my roommates and I cooked and got ready to go. Thanksgiving turned out to be an emotional day for me. I think I cried a little during this time.
6:00pm We arrived at our friend's for Thanksgiving. A lot of the dinner ended up being more Lebanese than American but it was a fun blend of the two cultures.
This is one of our Lebanese friends carving the turkey that is sitting on a bed of Lebanese rice. My favorite quote from the night. "I like dipping my turkey in the hummus."
10:30pm Stuffed and finally home. Using skype I got to call my family that was at grandma's house. I was able to say hello to everyone there!
It was such a great day but my Thanksgiving is not over! On Friday my American friends and I had a more traditional Thanksgiving meal.
