Thanksgiving 2009

We usually spent America Thanksgiving (have to say that here as the Canadians, and there are loads of them, celebrate it about 5 weeks earlier) at Cheri's house. For us it is quite nice as we get to do the whole drive to family thing. It makes it feel more like Thanksgiving. This year however, Cheri was going to be in Vietnam with Marie's parents during that time. We were not sure what we were going to do. In the end we were saved by our good friend Victor. We still got to do the drive to Thanksgiving thing and had a great time as well. The highlight of the afternoon was playing a game of touch football with the kids. I have not done that in years and Jack and I had a blast. We came back to the house and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Sling Box. Very cool. Just like being at home. Although the parade is more like a show than a parade. Kind of overdone. The dinner was great. Unfortunately I have no dinner pics. Oops. After dinner we all sat down for a hardcore game of American Idol on the Wii. As you can see from the pics Sarah and her friends had a blast. All in all a really good Thanksgiving.
