thanksgiving

One of the benefits, and there are too many to list, of being married to a foreigner is that Thanksgiving is important to Paul only because it means a day off of work to spend with his family.  I get to decide if we're going to go traditional or think outside the box.  Thanks to Mom and Dad, we get a little of both this year.  We spent Thanksgiving Day at home, just the four of us doing some of our favorite things, like cooking in the backyard.  The weather was glorious.

 Why would anyone want turkey when there are fillets in the fridge?

And building forts out of the furniture.

Wicked, man.

A very good place for lunch.

Paul took the day after Thanksgiving off, not to fight the crowds in the shops, but to spend even more time with the family and enjoy a traditional meal at Mom and Dad's.
