Thanksgiving in Doha

This is our 2nd Thanksgiving Holiday in Doha, it is still hard to get use to not being with family around the holidays and to be in warm weather climate, but we at least have friends who fill in that void and we all celebrate together. This year our great friends Mary and Curtis hosted a wonderful Thanksgiving. Once again it was an International affair. We had friends from Czech, Germany, London and Qatar with us to celebrate this holiday and who were interested in learning the history of Thanksgiving. We have been so blessed these last 2 years as a family with all these new adventures and experiences. We are expecting another miracle any week now and couldn't have had a better Thanksgiving to give thanks!!

Hannah is all dressed up and ready to celebrate Thanksgiving.

These are just a few of the guys that work with Mike and that were able to celebrate with us.


Poor Richard works so hard, he didn't even have turkey yet so we can't blame a turkey coma!


Good friend Lucie from Czech.


I've never made gravy (I don't care for it) so just my luck Dean was there to save Thanksgiving and whipped up some fabulous gravy for everyone! Curtis did the honors of craving the Turkey's!


Jenny and Lynn were a blessing and there to help with clean up and getting things set up.


The Myers family.

I decided the kids needed a craft to do so here they are busy coloring some Thanksgiving pics and then gluing some dried beans to them. There are some wonderful masterpieces being created at this table!!
