Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Denver. We stayed with our good friends and surrogate family, the Hirads. I worked with Elizabeth when I taught 2nd grade. She helped me survive all of my years there, but was a total lifesaver my first year! We love to spend time with them and are grateful that Denver is only 4 1/2 hours away, especially when we are feeling a little home sick and missing our families.

This is a picture of from my visit last February (we didn't get a new one this time so this works). This is Tony, Elizabeth, and one of their daughters, April. We stayed at their house and had Thanksgiving dinner with the whole Hirad family at Tony's brother Alex's house. Here are a few of our picture memories. 

 

Sharron Hirad (on the right) cooked the entire meal and it was amazing!  All of the traditional Thanksgiving foods with some great Iranian dishes sprinkled throughout. Yum...my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
