Thanksgiving day dinner and our birthday 感恩節大餐+我們的生日

今天我們邀請了自己家人一起共渡感恩節。感恩節是特別的日子，我們可以感謝許多生活中的祝福，大大小小的事情都值得去感謝，甚至我們生活上的困難跟挑戰，因為這些’苦’的祝福，會讓我們更成長，當我們通過考驗時候，這些美好經驗將是很大的祝福，甚至會有更多意想不到的恩典，這也神要我們學習跟成長的地方。生命因為感謝而精采快樂。

這次感恩節大餐，傳統上一定要有火雞、馬鈴薯泥跟南瓜派。今年我們第一次烤火雞，相當成功。加上親自做的醬料，淋在火雞肉上，十分好吃。我們也把火雞的內臟拿來敖湯頭，調製美味馬鈴薯泥淋醬，真是可口。南瓜派也是特別做的素食口味，沒有任何奶製品，一樣好吃，當然要加上自己親自做的cream。
最後要吃一下千層水果蛋糕，這是第一次做的，經驗不足，只能給70分。我們家似乎對蛋糕還沒有入門，希望有一天可以做出美味好吃的蛋糕。我跟Pieter分別都收到美好的禮物，感謝家人贈送。我也很感謝能有永恆伴侶外，每年也能跟他共渡同一天生日。

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner tonight. Pieter cooked the turkey. It was his first time and it turned out good. We loved it.
We spent a week to prepared the whole meal. We made a pumpkin pie, mash potatoes, cranberry sauce, and cake. Everything was from scratch. We had a good time to make food for our family. We enjoyed it. Thanksgiving day is not just for eating a big dinner, we also can think more about our blessings in our life. We should often thank God for what we have. Life is beautiful because we are always thankful for everything.
I am also thankful for my loving husband. He works hard for our family and I am glad to have him to be my eternal companion.
And there is  one other great thing, I can always have the same birthday with him every year. We can exchange gifts and eat the same cake every year. That is nice and sweet.
