Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Everyone!!
In Canada Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October (today). Since my husband served his mission in British Columbia we decided it would be a fun tradition to celebrate the holiday.
Dave’s parents came up last night and we had a mini Thanksgiving feast! I spent the morning making turkey, pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll, candied yams, mashed potatoes, and gravy. We also had corn & broccoli, and Yorkshire Puddings (a required addition to any Canadian feast). Dave’s parents brought up a green bean casserole and some rolls. We ate ourselves silly. It was tons of fun.
I forgot to take pictures tough. You’ll just have to imagine it.

As for my lack of posts recently… I am sorry.
I’ve been moonlighting as a costume designer and not much else has happened around here the past couple of weeks.
Please forgive me. And plan on seeing a post with the costumes (as they are so far) coming soon!
Sounds like a fun feast! I’m excited to see the costumes!!
That’s very cool – I’m always on the lookout for fun family traditions that we can start. Although this one wouldn’t make much sense for our fam – neither one of us have ties to Canada – I think it’s a great idea! Chris served his mission in Venezuela, but I’m almost afraid to ask because I’ve heard stories of the stuff he had to eat 😉
