Thanksgiving Weekend 2006
We had a great time! Jamie & Johnny & Heather all came up from Victoria. Saturday afternoon we met John's sister Kerry and her two kids, Kyle & Mya. Kyle is 2 and Mya is 5, very cute! Jim had forgotten how loud a house can be with little ones in it so it was good training for when Luke comes to visit.
For Thanksgiving dinner we also had Darcee & Chris & Marty and as usual it was a quiet, elegant, occation. NOT. Sure was fun though other than the fact the turkey wasn't done when it was supposed to be. The highlight of the evening though was the lemon meringue pie. My wonderful, future son-in-law disappeared over to step-mom, Marnie's, for the afternoon and showed up later with two pies made by his own little hands. Everything was great until I tried to cut through the meringue. I got laughing so hard I could hardly stand up. When you placed the knife on the pie the meringue would fold completely up in two, like wings. Too funny! We loved it though and it was absolutely delicious. I tell you, the boy is definitely a keeper. Other than that it was the usual Thanksgiving traditions such as hanging spoons on you nose...
Then there was the photo shoot in the back yard with Jamie and Heather, it was so much fun. Those two are nuts. You'd almost think they got along...

And then there was the Whaler ride to the Royston Wrecks, as you can tell it was just a might chilly. Still darn nice for October though.
Well, that was Thanksgiving for another year, the only sad part was not having Danny & Jen here and Kyle, Lindsay and little Luke. Maybe next year.
