Thanksgiving

We had a good Thanksgiving here.  The plans of where it would be and who all would be there changed around some, but it ended up working out well.  And, the food was delicious!

Since Thanksgiving is something celebrated in Canada and the US, it isn’t a holiday here, but ICSB is cancelled and the Americans do celebrate it.  Of course, you can’t just go to the store and buy a turkey like in the States.  So you have to either fix turkey breasts or go to a butcher shop and order a turkey.  Our group did the latter.  Here is a picture, below, of Justin carving it.  Kids playing before time to eat.  It’s actually not Ethan in Gary’s lap.  This is William, Ethan’s friend who is 4 months younger.  His mom is also expecting their 2nd child.  Ethan is in the corner behind Gary getting a book.

We celebrated with an Albanian family, a family that is part American and part Belarusian, an American family, and one of the singles from ICSB.  The Beatty family didn’t make it into the picture.  Ethan was too interested in toys to eat, so we took his food home with us and gave it to him a few days later.  He’s very social (wonder where he got that from!), so when we are with a large group, he tends to not eat anything.
