We have never celebrated Thanksgiving before, but this Christmas we are going to miss out on our Christmas feast because we will be in Tasmania, so we thought we'd do it for Thanksgiving, along with the rest of the festivities. We had a sort of Christmas theme too, with red and green napkins and cherries and while the food was being prepared we watched a Christmas movie.
Michael was scared, so he put his hands on his face but looked at the TV through his fingers =P
The Punch!
Xenia is a friend from Sydney, who is staying with us for a few days. Here she and Jess are... posing, you might say =P
The table setting. Plain, but festive.
With a blanket of bacon, this turkey was very scrummy!
We went around the table saying what we were thankful for... Rob and Dan gave small speeches.
Then we went outside to 'walk off our dinner', but really to do a treasure hunt for the little kids.
And finally, we had dessert: White chocolate, coconut and raspberry Cheesecake!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!

What Christmas movie did you watch? We watched the new "A Christmas Carol" last night. I liked it, though it was rather different from the Muppets version.
We watched "The Grinch", the one with Jim Carrey in it. He's also in the new "Christmas Carol". Have you read the book? I think it followed closer, and I really liked it =)
