Canadian Thanksgiving

So Monday was Canadian Thanksgiving. But we celebrated it on Sunday so more of us could come. We celebrate this day, because my mom is from Canada and it means a lot to her to celebrate her Holidays too! Make sense? So we got together and ate yummy food. Same as here really. Homemade stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, chicken instead of turkey, clam dip, ( not my specialty) jello, cherry pie and pumpkin pie, and other stuff that I just cant remember. I love the food!!!! It's so good every time you eat it. But I love having family together! We did miss my Brother Levi and my Sister Crystal and her man Cory, but when work and miles come up, sometimes you just cant do something ya know?! Although it was still so fun. My nephew Ethan is killer funny! ha ha even though he like almost one he is a hoot to play with! He mimics everyone all the time ha ha it kills you because your laughing so hard your insides hurt. Then there is the games and Teasing! This was the first get together with my family since Troy and I have been married. Well like a holiday gathering that we have been to. So it was funny to see how everyone connected. The boys played Mario cart and whatever other games you play with N64. There was razzing going on like crazy ha ha then there is the Dice game! Our Grandpa Cook taught us. We consider the game Canadian just because of who we learned it from. Its like a math game but more WAY more fun! ha ha So we played it. Amazing fun it is lol Being together with family is so great:) I'm happy that I have them!!!
