So this years Turkey day started just like any other we have every had....70 degrees and flowers blooming in the backyard while we ate breakfast....uh, yeah something like that. Of course, since it is not a Costa Rica holiday, Arelys (our employada) showed up at 7:45 in the morning and we had to take Kade off to school at 8. As you can see, Arelys and Payton got the morning started off in the right direction with lots of playing around. Most of the day was spent in the typical T-day tradition...cooking in the kitchen. The turkey turned out really good despite the somewhat burnt appearance (thanks to the new range we purchased a few weeks ago). Thank heavens too...as a 15lb
turkey in these parts is apparently rare - so they "fly" them in from
the USofA...and charge us $35...about $2.33 per pound of pure US heaven ;-) One of Jen's playdate friends came for dinner with their family (Amy, Jason and Sophie). Sophie fit right in and before long was acting just like any other monkey we tend to find in these parts of Costa Rica. Dinner was surprisingly good and everyone had a great time. The kiddos were still going strong at 10pm as you can see form the video at the bottom...at least they slept in the following morning ;-)
