Día de Acción de Gracias

For my first Thanksgiving away from home, I will call it a huge success. If I couldn't be with my own family, I can't think of another group of people that I would rather be with. My HECUA family has come to mean so much to me and I cannot believe that we will be saying good-bye in two weeks.

High-Altitude Apple pies :-)

My pies went fantastically! (Thanks to the help from fellow Ole Allyson!) I think I found my "thing" for future holidays or Lutheran potlucks. We had an abundance of food, and it was an awesome time to share this U.S. tradition with our Ecuadorian families.

I hope that you all had a safe and blessed day. I for one am stuffed.
