A Very American Thanksgiving....in England

---

With the exception of Valentine's Day (aka my BIRTHDAY which is in less than 2 months, but whose counting?)...I'd have to say that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's all the yummy food of the holiday season, without having to buy any gifts. Brilliant.

Since the English don't celebrate Thanksgiving, we all had to work on that Thursday. So, we decided to celebrate it the Saturday after. Daphne and Pete invited their closest friends and we had all the traditional Thanksgiving fare. YUUUUUUUM! Bronte and I also baked the pumpkin pie. It was a big hit and the pie plate was pretty much licked clean. Thank goodness we made a spare for ourselves!

Since most of the construction is done on the house, there was plenty of room for all the guests. It was a great way to christen the brand new kitchen. There was tons of food, wine and children running around. Everything the holiday should be.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
