Giving thanks in Doha to US soldiers!

In addition to our celebration with friends, we were invited to a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration today, by our good friends the Junods. Today was about celebrating with friends and taking a moment and celebrating with some of the US service men and women that are stationed here in Doha. It was such an honor to be a part of today. It was amazing to see such a group of people come together for a special holiday.

As we walked up to the clubhouse we were greeted by the American flag and the feel of Thanksgiving.


Everyone gathered together holding hands to say a prayer over the group especially the soldiers and a blessing over the food.


It was quite the food table, we had all the fixings it was fabulous!


Proud to be an American!


Holiday decor all around.



Some wonderful friends Wendi and Brenda.

Kim and Jamie Saleh, I have gotten to know Kim over that last few months and I'm lucky to get to call her a friend, she definitely knows how to make me smile!


It was a packed house, there were about 50+ service men and women there, it was such a joy to be able to celebrate with them.


Even poolside seating.


Lindsay Harris and her son Cres, such a cute family!


More seating in yet another room.
