Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving, we made traditional American food (stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes, candied yams (sweet potatoes), cheese biscuits, pumpkin pie, apple pie, chocolate cream pie, and fudge. We invited several of our teacher friends to join us. The canteen cooks brought several dishes of Chinese food and it was all a great feast!

This was the dessert table and the American food that we made. Zoe made all the desserts and they were really good.




We also got our Xiuzhong uniforms on Thanksgiving. We think they are cool, but our students think we look like students when we wear them.

Guests and More Birthdays!

Chris came to visit right after we returned from Changsha. It was very fun!


We also went karaoking because Zoe really likes to sing karaoke.


Chrissy came to observe us that week, and she likes to sing karaoke also. Our Tunxi friend, Gloria, treated us to two full hours of karaoke!


Then we celebrated Brendan's birthday!



Presents from Brendan's students!
