Canadian Thanksgiving ~ Year 3 with family and rejoicing

Mr. Husband and I met in person

the first time three years ago

on the weekend of 

(Canadian) Thanksgiving.

*

That Thanksgiving my godson was born,

he turned 3 this year...

This Thanksgiving weekend Mr. Husband and I

baptised our first god child who we have together,

our god daughter V.

*

My dear cousin H and her son W were 

with us for the baby's first communion

and then on Monday we made a 

lovely Thanksgiving Meal!

Meal:

Yams with Cranberry, made with this 

recipe for the yams.

Jiffy corn bread muffins,

Salad,

Drunken Chicken

Stuffing from mix, Cranberry Sauce from cans,

Organic corn, beans from my parents-in-law's garden,

gravy from chicken juices from chicken,

applesauce that my parents made, mashed potatoes...

water and hard cider for the adults...

Blue and white dishes, our silver, the usual dishes 

that I get out for beautiful meals...

It was a very good and savoured meal.

My cousin H not only did a lion share of 

the work but she brought this wonderful apple butter

which we enjoyed on the corn bread!

 We all went around and talked about what we were thankful for.

The Lampadas by the icons were all lit.

My cousin said she is making this

cranberry yam dish again!

A lovely meal...

And wonderful apple pie that my cousin baked

with French Vanilla Ice Cream for dessert!

It was a wonderful Thanksgiving meal!
