We just had a fantastic weekend with our friends from Calgary, Toronto, Ayr, Ottawa and Halifax. We cooked and ate and then ate some more!! Thank you everyone for making the trip out, it is always so good to see everyone each thanksgiving weekend!!! Kuy managed to bring the ham on the plane (can't find a better butcher than hers in Ottawa!!) Mark (the main chef this weekend) brings his own rotisserie, roast and other cooking items!! I am sure that AirCanada security were wondering as they Xrayed the various suitcases headed for PEI this weekend!!!
Thomas made his turkey hat that he is proud of (and can say) and even Sam got to try it on!! On Friday night we had lasagna and the first two families arrived!! On Saturday, we have pictures of the bigger kids eating (the 3 two year olds and Sam and Jacques are not even in this picture!!) The bigger kids (supposedly adults) are enjoying the prime rib that Marc made as well as some sushi tuna, scallops and potatoes!!! This is only the warm up meal as early on Sunday morning, Kuy and Niki bring out the ham!! Matthew , Micheal and Declan have a great time playing together. Ben lies down in the middle of it all for a break!! The kids get to watch Gillian on the computer. Christina is not yet 2 but talks up a storm and loves Sam. Maddie likes chocolate (I am sure you can guess which picture I am talking about!!) All day we cook, eat, drink and visit and play with the kids. The kids love the bouncy room and music room in the shed and Gillian and Keiran even give us a concert!! (As do the little kids but theirs is more spontaneous!!) Finally we get to enjoy a delicious turkey with all the trimmings and a ham... oh that fabulous ham!!! Did we mention how much we love thanksgiving time with our friends and all the wonderful memories that it leaves us!! Thank you all for coming!!! The MacNeills
