Thanksgiving Dinner 2005

Here we are about to tuck into our first Canadian Thanksgiving Dinner. It took 5 hours to cook the Turkey (roll - shhh). By the time it was ready Alex and Olivia were ready to devour thier own feet I think. But would you believe, after all that effort, Olivia couldn't sit still enough to eat and Alex announced that he "don't like it" - can we ever win? Alex made all the table decorations at pre-school and Ashley and I (at least) thought the meal was lovely, and we had a good day. We made ourselves the most basic Thanksgiving Dinner around (we researched the options on the net!!!), Turkey, mashed potato, peas, bread rolls, gravy and cranberry sauce and Pumpkin pie for dessert. Even with this simple spread, we were stuffed to the max and had to go for a long walk afterward to work it off. No one wanted tea that night.
