Our Thanksgiving was very nice, but honestly didn't feel like Thanksgiving at all.
Everyone has work here... but Brian took the day off :)
No Macy's Thanksgiving day parade ....what used to be our traditional a.m. activity
Stores are open, business as usual....
No football on tv ....except British "football" which would be soccer to us
This year we made reservations at The American Club for dinner with friends. So there wasn't the yummy turkey smell permeating throughout the house....
I could say that it was nice to not have to be slaving away in the kitchen, but I would be lying. I truly LOVE cooking Thanksgiving dinner. But sadly, our ovens are soo stinkin tiny, it is impossible to make a big turkey in them. You would be lucky to get a turkey breast in it. :) Last year we went over to our friends house, she had a much bigger oven than I have and it was great fun. This year, we decided to try out the Club.
The dinner at the club was yummy, and they had all the traditional Thanksgiving items (and it was a HUGE spread of it). Sweet little emotional Maddie, bless her heart, started to cry as we sat down to eat. She explained that she liked Thanksgiving at home, and that it wasn't the same eating at the Club. :) I promised her a late Thanksgiving dinner when we go home for Christmas. We did have such a great time sitting with our friends The Erhardts who are moving back to the USA soon. So sad they are leaving.
After dinner at the club we drove around and looked at ALL the Christmas lights decorating our downtown area. Amazing and beautiful. Will post those photos later
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! gobble gobble

Thanksgiving just isn't quite the same without the family "hub-bub" & preparation of the meal! But we are glad that you had a nice dinner at the "club" with friends! When do you get back to the "states"? Love to all!!!
