Our Thanksgiving

Though we live in a country now that doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving, we have some friends that so generously hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for us and another American. We had the dinner last Sunday and it was great.
We arrived several hours early so we could help with the cooking. We were all shredding, chopping, mixing or eating fudge. We had a great time getting the dinner ready.
We had the traditional food with a little flare of England added. We had turkey, stuffing, potatoes, pumpkin pie, and fudge, with Yorkshire pudding, brussel sprouts, and parsnips. It was quite a spread.
We stayed later and played games. Eliza and Fenton had a great time playing with Evie, their little girl.
Thanks Cave's for keeping our traditions alive.

I'm glad you got to celebrate. We missed you too.

We absolutely missed you. I love the smells and the caos of all the people and all the food. Your assignment for next year (or the next) will be to bring yorkshire pudding. I love to remember the times we had the Blakes up for the holiday or the Seamons. What fun. Now you have another great memory from your friends there.
