Thanksgiving

This year, despite being far from our families, we were lucky enough to have two Thanksgiving dinners. On Sunday we went to Peachland and had a turkey dinner with my friend Magda and her family.
On Monday morning, Layla and I began our day by stuffing the turkey. She was eager to help with all the preparations. Then we all went for a nice walk with Chester.
We cut some roses from our rosebush out front for a beautiful centrepiece. Great idea Layla.
The feast!
We all dressed up for a fine meal consisting of turkey, potatos, stuffing, brussel sprouts, green been/carrot casserol, coleslaw, and cranberries . It was delicious.
I cooked the neck for Chester who was very thankful. This is him devouring the turkey neck. You can see why we made him take it outside.


Overall we had a great day and will be eating leftovers for a long time yet.

  3. Sara, we didn't notice because we hardly saw your children, they were too busy playing. Cute photos Mary! Looks like fun.

  4. How big was that turkey? Yikes! Joe made our green bean casserole this year. He made the "lite" version with no cheese -- by accident. But it was good anyway. My brother-in-law came and just ate ham and peas. Weirdo.
