Today is Canada's Thanksgiving! It's great to be an Amercian in Canada because we get to celebrate Thanksgiving twice this year! I think this is one holiday we might bring back to the states when we return.
On Saturday, we went over to our Canadian friends Ester and Sarah's house for Round 1. We had lots of yummy traditional thanksgiving food, fellowshiped with friends and played fishbowl...a game that is a combination of catchphrase and charades. Overall, a great night!
On Sunday, we went and had dinner with a real Canadian family! Our friend Erin invited us over along with several other students to celebrate Thanksgiving with her family. Again we had a wonderful meal, wonderful conversations, and even more wonderful desserts!
It was really fun to see another country's Thanksgiving! Their Thanksgiving is really similar to ours. They spend time with their families, have turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy, other fixins, argue over which is better...cranberry sauce or cranberries from a can. Such a joyous holiday to celebrate!
Thanks friends for making our first Canadian Thanksgiving a memorable occasion!
