Canadian Thanksgiving. Ah-hem, The Real One ;)

Three cheers for having a sister in Kuwait!  HIP, HIP!!!!!!!

Last weekend, Dana, Phil, Nory and I hosted Canadian Thanksgiving.  Wait - perhaps I should rephrase that.  It was mostly Phil, Nory and I providing a venue for the event and Dana working her tush off in the kitchen - making not one, BUT TWO turkeys, homemade cranberry sauce, and two kinds of stuffing.  I suppose I threw in a few "YOU GO GIRL's, along with some festive decorations.  And I suppose Phil kept Nory occupied and out of the chef's way.  But other than that, it was 100% D. HOIT!  GOOD WORK, DANA!  I can't wait for us to host Christmas together too!  Haha. 

Our Thankful Turkey!  You know you're at a teacher's house when........

Our guests also contributed many DELICIOUS dishes.  From appetizers to mains to desserts......there was quite the spread of food at our place :)  We had leftovers for days and I didn't mind eating the exact same thing every single meal either.  It was simply THAT YUMMY!  

This was only ONE of the tables!  Thank you to Emily for making the sign :) xo

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate this holiday with us.  We are lucky to have found such wonderful family abroad. XOXO.

WAIT. STOP. PAUSE.  

I can't end this post just yet.  I completely forgot to mention.....

Kumari Poppins.  Another GIRL WHO GOES!  Thanksgiving is SO MUCH EASIER to host when the house is spic and span 30 minutes after the final guest departs.......

We love you, K POP!!!!!!  Thank you for making life easy-peezy every chance you get :)

We hope everyone back home had a family, fun and food-filled Thanksgiving, too!  We miss you!
