Thanksgiving

I finally got some pictures from our Thanksgiving on Monday so here they are! 

For our regular Monday night supper club we (okay, I) decided that because it fell on Canadian Thanksgiving we'd do the full Thanksgiving dinner and talk about being thankful during our discussion time! We planned for 30 people - chicken with cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes with gravy, salad, stuffing, warm apple cider and pie (chocolate and pumpkin) for dessert. There were 20 of us altogether and we had a great time! 

Steve with Tolik (one of the graduated orphan guys): 

Preparing the chicken:

Vera (one of the graduated orphan girl living in New Hope's girls' home) chopping stuff for salad:

Twenty plates lined up and ready to go!

Justin talking about thankfulness:

Dez waiting patiently for food:

Steve and Justin with the three "neighbourhood" guys as we like to call them (they live in the neighbourhood of New Hope Center and started coming randomly) and Tolik (front left):

Leadership Team: L-R Steve, Jo, Alexandra (whose pictures these all are), Masha, Justin and Jessica

The Harders!!

Girls - L-R: Marcie (Jessica's friend who is visiting), Masha, Me, Tania, Alexandra, Jessica
We have enough leftovers for next Monday's supper as well - tossed them all in the freezer!
