I took the kids to Dennis the Menace park. They had more fun playing in the leaves than any of the playground equipment. 
We also made some Halloween cookies. Actually, I think Tyson just ate the frosting.

Canadian Thanksgiving
I have lived in the USA for over 10 years, yet I am not sold on the whole Thanksgiving in November thing. Today is Thanksgiving in Canada--much further away from Christmas:) So while my sisters, parents, neices and nephews feasted on Mom's turkey dinner...I was a little sad. Times like this remind me of the home I left behind and the dear memories I have of life before I really grew up. I know, kinda sappy, but every once in a while it has to happen. We did have a fun day though.

okay so i would always have a heart attack at that park, it was so huge and my kids would go "poof" in three different directions...not a fan of that park even though they still talk about it...and seriously? thanksgiving in october before halloween that's just wrong! :)
I had a really good friend in Texas that was canadian. So every October for the 3 years that I lived there, she invited us over and we had a big Thanksgiving dinner. It's got to be hard living here and knowing that your family is doing all the family traditions that you used too! I am sorry but I am glad you had a good day with your kids.
Love that picture of Tyson with the frosting!
I was born in Canada, and when my parents called their families to tell them I had arrived, everyone said, "Oh! A Thanksgiving baby!" My parents were confused for a moment because they had celebrated Thanksgiving a month earlier!
Happy Thanksgiving, Anita. The farm and museum looked like a blast.
