Saturday night was the big performance at the kid's school of The Sound of Music. Bradley's class sang the song that accompanied the puppet show. I took a picture of a few of the kids in his class before the performance. His buddy Somang Kim then some other friends Briyanca, Kaileigh, and Tara. 
We also took a picture of the cast to show you how diverse the school is- there are 84 nationalities at the school. It was a great performance and I was very impressed with the talent. Some children were acting, some singing, some in the orchestra and some backstage helping. The drama teacher did a great job including all classes in some fashion.
Harold Keene and Chomba came over for lunch on Sunday as well as the Mutale family. We had turkey with stuffing, ham, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, green beans, biscuits, chocolate cake and pumpkin cheesecake- all from scratch. Erik and I spent much time preparing but it was nice sharing an American tradition with our Zambian friends. We also obtained a copy of the last Monday Night Football game- the Saints vs. the Packers. Erik, the kids and I all snuggled up to watch our first football game this season and did just what came natural...I slept during the first quarter, Erik during the 2nd and 3rd as the kids played Rummikub. Brought back some good memories...Who won the game? Who cares? Just the sound of Hank Williams Jr. talking about "all his rowdy friends" was enough:)

It sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving. I am so glad you shared the tradition with others. I know the kids enjoyed their parents cooking for others and telling about Thanksgiving.
Bradley looked handsome in his "Sound of Music" clothes. I so wish I was there for the whole week-end.
Carmen, I have been following your blog since Mike and Eric exchanged emails. I am both amazed and, I must admit, envious of you and your family's experience. What a differnce you are making in the world with one person at a time. God bless you with all you are doing.
