Thanksgiving Weekend in Good Ol' Nova Scotia

This past weekend was THANKSGIVING! One of my favorite holidays! Time to spend with Family, enjoy the Fall weather and colorful leaves and eat lots of yummy food! As I mentioned in a previous post we have our annual Thanksgiving celebrations with John's family at their family's camp. We had a fantastic time and everyone decided this year to spend the night there. The weather was fantastic, there was enough food to feed a village and the crib and washer toss games were a lot of fun and as always-pretty competitive!! My partner this year was John's cousin Ryan! I hate to say this but we lost-BADLY! It was fun though!!! This years crib AND washer toss winners were Janet (my mother in law) and Kyle (my brother in law). They won both trophies which doesn't happen often-usually there are 2 teams that each get a trophy!! It was fun and they were pretty proud of their winnings (maybe Janet more so than Kyle as she mentioned winning both trophies-oh say about 100 times-LOL, Now I know where John gets his fierce competitive side from ;)

We spent Sunday with my Dad's family. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner #2 there and enjoyed the company and laughs and of course the yummy Turkey dinner. We stayed the night and then got up early Monday morning to get some more visiting in. We went to see my Mom, Donald and Aunt Nancy and had originally planned on dropping into Nancy's but things were a bit crazy for her that morning and our visit didn't get to happen! I'll see her and Baby Ben in a couple of weeks though =)

I took Tuesday off to rest and relax before going back to work. I didn't do much at all but I did enjoy the relaxation.
