This eagerly anticipated holiday has finally come and gone. It was my first day off from work (enough reason to celebrate in itself) and it was great to sleep in and cook for the whole day. We started with a visit to the MacDonald's Thanksgiving parade which was conveniently 5 minutes away and then returned home to take care of our new charge, Lilly, a chocolate Lab who we are lab-sitting for the weekend. More about Lilly later. I then spent the rest of the day making a green bean casserole and baking the real pumpkin pies. At around 5pm we went over to some friends for Thanksgiving dinner and preceded to eat far too many m and m cookies (mmm), have many helpings of stuffing, mash potatoes, turkey and yams (!) and then roll out home in -10C weather. It was great!!
Thanksgiving Morning
Normally I would not treat myself to tea at Starbucks (...) but it being below freezing and Thanksgiving morning, I felt I could justify my purchase.
I think it's Yogi bear in the back.
Thanksgiving Dinner
Some Dutch/American salad making.
Dublin. Lilly's mate for the evening. The two were quite a pair and put on a good show for us.
The best cookies in the world. Butter, Peanut Butter, Chocolate and super goodness.
The Langes did an incredible job of hosting their first Thanksgiving dinner especially as the majority of the guests were experiencing Thanksgiving for the first or second time - that's pressure!
