It’s been a while since I updated. Since the bakery craziness a lot has happened. But not much of it has been anything outside the ordinary flow of life. While the holiday season is one of the saddest times to be in China, away from family and friends I am so used to spending these months with, it is by far one of my favorite times to be in China. Thanksgiving day was full of fun and tons of great food. At Shi Yi we have a Thanksgiving themed English Club and we all make traditional Thanksgiving food for the kids. Minus the turkey as the cost is about $90, we substitute with some yummy rotisserie chicken. We teach kids about the first Thanksgiving and then use the holiday as an excuse to watch a movie in class. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is after all very educational! 
I enjoyed telling my kids that a tradition at Thanksgiving is that people will eat, and eat, and eat until they are soooo full they can’t eat anymore and THEN they eat dessert.
On Thanksgiving day ERAP did just that. We all gathered up at one of the other schools (Fu) and everyone brought a dish to share. There was soooo much good food. It was awesome.
This is my awesome team.
