We are not talking food, there wasn't much left over from either Thanksgiving. Just the last bit of photos and comments. Tomorrow will be another day and one without Thanksgiving!
One of Thursday night's guests was kind enough to send photos, and since I am in a couple of them...
Here I am trying to explain what Thanksgiving is all about. My Thursday night Thanksgiving for the French locals came about when I was organising my Thanksgiving week end for Americans living in France. Many of my French friends demanded to know what exactly was Thanksgiving. They all knew the word but not the feast. So I decided to do a Thanksgiving for them. 
Here I am with Muriel.
The tables were lovely.
Saturday's Thanksgiving was just as nice and a bit more fun for me because I was able to sit and stuff myself. Again, I was lucky enough to have a guest send photos, and since I am in a couple of them...
Yapping again!
I remembered to dress not only the turkey but the platter as well.
And here we are, smiling before attacking!

I think it is wonderful to educate french people in American traditions. I love Thanksgiving, love the history, the food, the people... When I was in France in July, I saw garnet sweet potatoes in Rodez (Aveyron). They are so good baked in the oven.

Nadege,
I did sweet pototatoes, or rather, yams last year. Parboiled then baked with maple syrup and sprinkled with cranberries. This year that is what I thought I bought. But these were real sweet potatoes, white inside. Unfortunately when I peeled them they turned black. So I replaced them with the wild rice.
