Happy Thanksgiving to all
This was our first American Thanksgiving for the four of us. We did make it back to Erie one year at Thanksgiving time when the oldest was about two, but that was the last Thanksgiving we spent in the States. So how was it?
Wonderful! We went to my cousin’s house and she very kindly did all the hard work. The kids had a wonderful time with their cousins. I had a wonderful time with my cousin, Aunt, mom and sister. Hubby watched some football with my cousin’s husband and the Cowboys won. (Cousin’s hubby is a Cowboys fan…it would have been a less happy Thanksgiving if they had lost.)
We all ate too much (of course), laughed a lot and really enjoyed each others company. This is one of the main things that I wanted to move back to the US for…holidays with family. Every year on the Isle of Man we would celebrate Thanksgiving, but it was just us, the kids were at school so we have to wait to eat until they got home and some years we couldn’t even get a fresh turkey! (Turkey is the de facto Christmas meal in the UK, so in November they are all still busy being fattened up for the big day.)
I am really hoping that next year everyone can come to Buffalo and have Thanksgiving at our house. If we have a house, and furniture, and…everything.
