Thanksgiving

Today, or this weekend, was Thanksgiving weekend! This is honestly one of my favourite holidays, with Christmas as the only exception. Each year it seems the day is very different from every year before. For example, this year we had "the dinner" at my aunt and uncles where they don't serve the traditional goods. Instead we had a torte (filled with potatoes and different meats), chicken wings, 3 salads (strawberry spinach, brocolli and a marinated veggie salad) and ham. This was a bit of a let down for sure not that it wasn't good food. Food in general is good, : ) Before dinner, my family (me, my cousin, brother and sister) each picked up a pumpkin to carve. This event always brings back the traditional feel. It was an awesome time, a lot of laughing and silliness took place. While I have said that my blog is mostly for photos, I just decided to give you a little insight to the Canadian Thanksgiving traditions!
Every year, I kind of sit down and think of what I am thankful for and every year my realizations are much the same. God has blessed all of us with so much. He is my constant guide and support. He gives me reason to live. He provides me with everyday I have and has promised to be with my the rest of my days.
This weekend has been uplifting and relaxing and fortunately I am able to post a few photos from the pumpkin carving and here they are!
I hope your thanksgiving was as inspiring as mine was!
