Thanksgiving; via the Pilgrims first stop

So, As you may know, the Pilgrims first left England and found acceptance in Holland. So having thanksgiving in Amsterdam was kind of a 'home-coming' of sorts... The fellowship here had a nice big traditional turkey, sweet potatoes and stuffing... all the fixings'! It was a blessing and such a nice way to end our time in Amsterdam.

Eric and Eva slicing the bird!
This is a pecan chocolate pie that the ladies made... without corn syrup, because you can't find it in the grocery store here, but with a little help from a friend, they made it with honey... it was yummy...
Julie bought this "Pilgrim" from Party Plus... Eva loved the decorations... it was fun to bring some decor from the states...

This is Seth... from England... He really enjoyed 'thanksgiving'... We shared a love for turkey, football, and the band U2... he works for a fancy stroller company called Buggaboo...

Greg, Hope you impressed upon your Amsterdam hosts that you are the 14th descendent of William Bradford, gov. of the Plymouth Colony. That might make them take note of the many praises you gave them for the food - coming from an official bloodline of the Mayflower.
