Thanksgiving 2011

Believe it or not this weekend saw our first Thanksgiving celebration at home. Despite 50 per cent of our family being American. Umm…

Usually if we celebrate it’s because we happen to be visiting family on one of our very well timed visits.

But this year we thought it was high time that we bit the bullet and admitted that actually we should really do something. So we did.

And here is evidence of Parsnip peeling.

We even brought in the wood, invited friends around and assembled the cheese board. The boat was pushed out.

We also thought it was high time that the children started to learn about American history, those pilgrims and native Americans, that feast and naturally how to make silly hats.

Candles were lit.

And the smelly one too.

The children were allowed to watch football. And we ate and drank and were thankful for every last minute of it. Happy (belated) Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving – the aftermath. From the 25llb turkey, the roasted vegetables, the sweet potato with marshmallows on top (new experience for me) to the huge selection of pie – this has been a fantastic first Thanksgiving experience for me. I love the fact that the guys are watching football in the background of this photo.

It was nice to sit with family around one huge table. We each got to say what we were thankful for and of course there were tears. But wait, those are some serious bottles of wine!

And then came the pie; Banana Cream pie, Pumpkin pie, Pecan pie or Key Lime pie? Would it be rude to have a bit of everything?
