Canadian Thanksgiving

Monday 12th October was a holiday for Canadian Thanksgiving. We were invited to the home of Doug and Loretta and their two daughters, Alana and Carla - along with Loretta's parents, Juanita (Loretta's sister), Shonna, Andrew, Ken, Janelle and Gerard. Celebrations started at 1pm and we didn't go home until about 9 hours later!

Table settings (placecards by Alana and Carla)...







Thanksgiving food (including the traditional turkey, cranberry sauce, Brussels sprouts, and pumpkin pie!)...







Tucking in...



Post-dinner neighbourhood stroll...











Post-stroll leisure activites...







Needless to say, we throroughly enjoyed our first Thanksgiving!!

(American Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November - and we've been lucky enough to be invited to join in on that one, too!!)
