Happy Thanksgiving from the Hammes Family in Himeji, Japan. The kids received new outfits from Grandpa Pat so we dressed them up and headed out for dinner.
I hope this blog finds everyone happy and healthy for Thanksgiving. I am thankful for all my family and friends, especially those that have called or written since we vanished off the planet USA.
We really are having a great time here in Japan, but we do miss everyone and the comforts of home. Luckily there is a wonderful restaurant here in Himeji that cooked a traditional Thanksgiving feast for all of us.
We had turkey, seafood macaroni & cheese, peas w/ bacon, corn, mashed potatoes & gravy, candied sweet potatoes (and yes mom, Mitch ate those and he loves them), sausage stuffing, carrots, creamed onion, salad, some chicken stew thing, pumpkin & cranberries. 
Sara wasn't too sure about everything, but at least she tried some of it. Luckily dad brought fruit snacks.
We enjoyed all the company (most everyone from Shirasagi was there as well as some Japanese friends) 
Lucy, Jodi & Jono, Katie & Joe
Karen, Sara, Suvanya, Heather, Colm (he is from Ireland)
Adam, Steve N, Marie & her boyfriend.
Maya, Julian & Taube, Steve H
RJ and Sara really do love their friend Maya. She is headed to Phoenix next week to live and work for at least 3 months. 
We are sure going to miss her.
