THANKSGIVING 2000

Our first spent in Germany. It is a new experience to celebrate something the culture around you does not. It was a good learning experience.

Saturday, November 18th
German-American Thanksgiving Dinner
We dressed up for the formal occasion

On Sunday, November 29th, Keith put his
suit back on and helped serve the soldiers
their Thanksgiving dinner at the Dining Facility
at Tompkins Barracks.

Amanda put on Keith's hat

We all had dinner there. Tom from Anchorage
was here for a visit and we drug him along with us.

On Thanksgiving Day we went to Don & Bebe's.
Although they don't normally celebrate Thanksgiving,
they warmly opened their home to us.
We had a ham and lots of fixings.

 

 

 

 

They live on the top floor and have
beautiful wood ceilings

Aren't they cute???

Jeremiah and Amanda sang for Bebe.

Hey! What's up!?

Waiting for dinner -- just like in the
US but without the football games to watch!

Don & Bebe have some interesting games.

(No, he wasn't about to hit Don!)

Bebe took this picture.
