Thanksgiving

Thursday meant one thing, and one thing only - THANKSGIVING! Being a national holiday everyone had the day off to spend with friends and family, stuff their face with turkey and overload on mash and other forbidden carbs.

As our first year in New York we hosted the Estes-Glenns and my cousin Matthew.

After everyone arrived back from the parade it was time for some champers and to get the party going!
















Easy on the sparkling cider boys!

















Due to David's allergy to chicken/turkey we served a roast lamb with gravy instead of a turkey. However we did keep it traditional with pumpkin soup, mash potato, green bean casserole, wild rice & mushroom stuffing, pear rocket & parmesan salad, warm dinner rolls, and peas courtesy of Alex, as well as exceptional beet chutney, cranberry & cream salad and pumpkin pie all made from scratch by the lovely Erin.

With Australian's being in the majority, it was all washed down with Penfolds wine (thanks Matthew) desert included tim tams and mint slice, and all to the soundtrack of Cold Chisel - oi oi oi!





















Tuck-in!
