Sunday was the day we designated to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. (Thursday was a work and school day here, and Sunday seemed much more convenient). We hosted a couple of other families at our apartment, threw the old pigskin around, and ordered in the "Turkey Set," which turned out to include quite the delicious Turkey and trimmings. Mike had to go old school without the electric carver, but it all worked out nicely.
After apple pie, we even threw in one last birthday celebration into the mix, running the weekly tally to FOUR! The seventh birthday is now officially over. And Ilena can take a break from churning out cupcakes like there is no tomorrow.

Ok, I give up. How do you bake cupcakes without an oven?
BTW, the Japanese couple who were at Thanksgiving dinner with us at your folks admitted to never having tasted Turkey. I, of course, explained that when in doubt you can always say anything tastes like chicken!
Although we have no normal sized oven, we do have a small microwave/toaster/convection oven; so we make small batches of cupcakes.
Small batches of tiny cupcakes??
Happy Birthday Jacob!!
We miss you guys!!
That turkey dinner looked pretty impressive, considering :)
Looks like you guys had a great day. I didn't realize that you guys had no oven. Are you in a traditional Japanese apartment?
I just can't imagine not having football to watch on TV at the house. This may be an interesting 3 years.
Speaking of football, my husband found a bar that will be having the Super Bowl live! I guess that would make it 10am on a Monday?
Other longer-term gaijin have more western style apartments. But ours is Japanese style.
The wonders of iTunes, Apple TV, Slingbox, and the internet can keep you pretty well connected to favorite shows etc.
Last year, the Superbowl was on live on cable here. Yes, at 10 AM Monday morning. Since the Giants were in it and WON, I went in quite late to work that day. But no one had any idea there was even a game!
