How do American missionaries in Portugal celebrate Thanksgiving?
Well, The Andrzejewski's, the Loop's, the Pollard's and Ms. Dawne did it like this......
Just SOME of the food!
The big kids table
The adult table.
The adults, chowing down.
The big kids eating.
Everyone eating.
Silly girls, waiting patiently.
Their patience paid off!
The King and Queen
Card game that followed.
The kids entertained themselves with movies and gameboys.
All good things must come to an end...saying goodbye. Until next time.
This picture came today on my email. This is Dillon, Cheyenne, and Dakota Butler. Michael had a part in winning their parents, Jim and Becka to the Lord. They are a precious family that we miss dearly. "Thanks kids!! We love and miss you so very much!"
Here are Dillon, Dakota and Cheyenne with my girls Easter 2005.
And here is the whole family. We love you Bro. Jim and Ms. Rebekah! Thanks for sending the pictures.

P.S LOOKS LIKE THANKSGIVING WAS FUN IN PORTUGAL.
Looks like you all had a great time.
Your food looks yummy!
Looks like a great time.
I'm curious if all the missionaries come from different regions of the US, so you all had different sides from all over.
You know how southerners eat one sort of Thanksgiving dinner and northerners eat another.
Glad you had so many people to celebrate this very important US holiday with.
The eats look yummy!
I dont feel so sad when I see the pictures because I know you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I wish you could have been at Uncle Danny's with all of us. Terry and I went shopping the day after and got a few good deals. Went to Cheryl's and watched "THE GAME" "ROLL TIDE"... now I better get ready for church!
I love you, Mom
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving gathering, but there was a biiiiig hole at the tables and in the conversation and in the children playing all over Aunt Lori's house.
I took the Portugese tablecloth and it had it's place of honor at our table.
I am so glad that you had good friends, fellowship and food in a foreign land. Home, though thousands of miles away, still exists in your heart and you were here in mine.
I love you all. I enjoyed the pictures and stories of your day.

Beautiful photos!!! Looks like you had a lot of fun. Loved the king and queen crowns.
Thanksgiving is somehow extra special when shared with missionary friends and colleagues far from home. I'm happy you had a beautiful day!
I like the fall decorations you have! Makes everything look so festive!
I'm Julie Loop's sister.
Thanks so much for sharing the pictures.
They were neat to see!
Your favorite pics of 2008 are very nice!
