No, Thanksgiving is not a holiday in The Netherlands and thus I worked during the day and the kids had both school and afterschool activities (soccer, basketball, musical practice). But that didn't stop us from giving thanks and enjoying a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. In addition to the Feriancek five, we invitied our neighbor Sylvie and her daughter Nicoline over to join us for the festivities.
We have an extremely small oven...so small that a normal size turkey would not fit. Instead, we had our local butcher cook the turkey for us! Although I missed cooking the turkey, it was a nice option to pick it up at 6pm and have it all ready to go.
We are thankful for many things, most of all for having great family and friends. We hope you had a great Thanksgiving as well.
All the best,
Jen, John, Allison, Ryan and Matthew
