An Aussie Family Thanksgiving

Gobble, gobble, gobble… eat till you wobble. Amen. 

This whole Thanksgiving dinner thing started off to be much bigger than I planned.  We wanted all the family there and to invite so many of our friends. The idea just became bigger than life itself and so we scaled it down. The three of us that planned this event from it’s humble beginnings ended up making this a more down home aussie family thanksgiving.  Luckily Birdie and I only were in charge of the Turkey and stuffing and some minor side dishes, we had our other guests bring traditional pies and dishes to add to the experience.  Here is a glimpse of our day.  You can see more pictues in the album titled 2006 Thanksgiving.

Our Thanksgiving Table

Overall we had a wonderful first Thanksgiving, we were happy to have our closest family and friends on hand. And we hope to have started a net tradition for our family in the celebration of thanks for all that we have.
