Our first Thanksgiving......

and Hunters first Thanksgiving. We woke up to a frosty morning which made it feel kind of like Christmas! The Olstad family provided the turkey and some carrots and potatoes which had been grown in Kelly's mum's garden and Neil did all the cooking. I peeled all the veggies and decorated the table so all in all it was a good team effort! We ate until we could eat no more then played a couple of games on Neil's new foosball table, then all collapsed in front of the TV. It was just what I was expecting Thanksgiving to be! We learnt a couple of things today, fistly we learnt that pumpkin pie is surprisingly tasty! Secondly we learnt that in Canada people don't put cream on their deserts unless it's whipped, with vanilla and sugar! Mandy and Kelly thought we were pretty odd for suggesting we have just plain cream, apparently it's like covering your desert with milk. Anyway they were persuaded to try it with their pie and I'm glad to say that I think they liked it. Anyway here are some photos, starting with how the table looked before we ate.......

Here's Doog helping peel some potatoes.....
