Back Home at the Rices for Thanksgiving!

Although Katie and I technically only got Thanksgiving Day off, we did some work to rearrange and make up our classes so that we could go back to Meng Zi to see Brian and Victoria Rice and their family for Thanksgiving. Katie and I have spent every China Thanksgiving with the Rices and after a year it was just time to see them again. It was a short trip--we left Wednesday morning and were back Sunday afternoon--but so so good to see them! Here's a few fun photos of us all together first, then I'll post pictures from Thanksgiving dinner.

When we got to their house, Brian and Caleb were out in some surrounding villages. They got home Thursday late morning. I love it that Brian rents those Chinese vans and drives them all over! It's not every waiguoren that's willing or able to drive in China!
