T and A Do Thanksgiving

Apparently Australia does not celebrate Thanksgiving, but WE DO!

Soo we hosted our first Thanksgiving!  
Yep using the couch as extra chairs.

Table set, Turkey on the grill, soo good!


A perfect turkey!  
First try, no big deal...

 
A homemade feast all from scratch!
Mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, stuffing, gravy, turkey, calamari, shrimp, green beans, sausage, cranberry sauce...

And friends!
5 Americans, 2 Ausies, 2 Frenchies, and 1 English.

Dinner done, time for desert, pumpkin pie and carrot cake!


All done!  Time to relax on the balcony with some wine.

A great Oz Thanksgiving!

Britt & Sara come to visit.....a few months ago!

Apologizes to my brother- in law and future sister in law - for the late post! But better late than never!

 Welcome to a land down under!


Day 1- Let's go whale watching
 I see them! 
The waves were rough, I hope they didn't get sea sick like the rest of the boat did!



Day 2 - Britt's birthday! Happy 28th Birthday Britt

A surprise cheese cake from Sara! 



Day 3- Britt and Sara get engaged!  She said yes! Congrats

 What a fun celebration at a very chilly restaurant

Overlooking the Sydney Bridge, great views!


Onto - our typical Sydney hike.

Watch out Sara!


That is better!  What a cute couple


Onto sibling rivalry - Who can do the most dips!
Looks like Britt is winning....



End of the visit- Palm Beach!  
Thanks for coming to visit Britt & Sara- we will see you soon
