This week was Thanksgiving and we didn't do anything to mark that special day. It is my favorite holiday of all time, but in England it is just a normal Thursday in the middle of a particularly busy time of year. This make it hard to put aside time into planning, cooking, and preparing a suitable meal. But at the same time, it is something that I always feel bad about.
So Thanksgiving came and went as an otherwise normal Thursday, but on Sunday we were invited over to the Denslow's house (Anne Marie, Gordon and their 3 boys) for dinner and they surprised us by putting on a Thanksgiving-themed feast!
During the meal, we went round the table so everyone could share something they were grateful for. This turned out to be a bit of a disaster because Sam really wanted to go first and then ended up saying something quite mean about his brother. This made everyone cringe, and then the contributions to the discussion got more and more strange as we went round the table! But anyway, that is what happens sometimes I guess. Be careful what you ask for...
Aside from that, the meal was absolutely wonderful and we are really grateful to have friends like these who live just down the road and are so generous with us!
