This marks the second Thanksgiving that I have spent in England. Last Thanksgiving I spent without Austin here as he was back in the states for a training. But dont worry I wasn't alone for Thanksgiving I was spent it with my dear friend Sara, her husband, and our friend Dooley. The day started with me heading over bright and early to start cooking. Sara and I are some of the best Thanksgiving cooks I know and I know she will agree with me. The pictures below are some of many taken on my 1st English Thanksgiving.
Me and Sara getting started to cooking
I had some issues making my dad's shortbread, oh well everything's a learning experience right?
Don't worry everyone the Shortbread turned out amazing and there weren't any leftovers
My 1st English Thanksgiving was amazing with lots of great food and great friends. Sara and I even managed to cook an amazing turkey in our turkey fryer.
This year Thanksgiving is a little different then last. Austin is home this year which is always a blessing. Even more so because his grandparents Ma and Pa are also here this year. The morning has started off normal enough. Coffee (always a must), and a quick look outside to see that there is no snow. Although I had hoped I figured that we wouldn't have any snow. But a girl can dream right? I have already started my cooking which includes brownies, french dip sandwiches (for lunch), green bean casserole, and chocolate chip peanut butter cookies. We are having two thanksgivings today. One with the most of our England family which includes : Austin, Me, Carley, Ma and Pa, Tommy, Jake and Scott. We are missing my England Bestie Jenna and her husband John. Then tonight we are going to Erin's house to have Thanksgiving with my work family!
I always wonder what it would be like if we were in Alaska. My family used to always go out and spend the whole weekend at the cabin. There would be lots of food, family, friends, game, and of course SNOW. They haven't gone for a couple of years but its always my favorite memories of being back home. What I wouldn't give to open up the window and see snow falling outside.... Nope nothing there.
Well I guess I better get back to cooking. A very Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends and family near and far. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful group friends and family here in England that make our time here in the this amazing country so special.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
