Happy Thanksgiving!!

Ooopppssieee! I guess I forgot to update my blog once a week again..... But in my defense it's been a bit of a whirlwind with prac starting again - and besides I feel as though nobody reads my blog anymore - so I don't mind if I'm delayed updating it...

So thanksgiving just passed.... and we (Canadians) all celebrated an amazing Thanksgiving... two Mondays ago (October 3rd) we had our first Thanksgiving dinner - a few people were leaving the next day for their rural and remote placements - so we had a combination dinner of saying goodbye and thanksgiving dinner! It was potluck and Delicious!! We had a little bit of everything, turkey and stuffing (of course), sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, carrots and so on! Lise and I were in charge of dessert - we made 'TimTam Cake' and apple crisp - so good! This dinner had an Aussie twist - we ate on the beach!! So amazing!!

Beautiful Turkey! Zac and Lindsay

Then the following Saturday - we enjoyed a second Thanksgiving dinner... This time there were many Europeans that were invited who had never celebrated Thanksgiving before - so it was really exciting for them! This time we gave $10 to the chefs and they made everything - again we had quite the assortment of food! It was also amazing!!

Both dinners were awesome - and it was great to celebrate with so many amazing people!

I'd also just like to say congratulations to Melissa and Sean on their wedding day! Another wedding I wish I could have been home for - but the pictures looked amazing and it looked like an amazing day!!
