preparing for the feed

Yes we do celebrate thanksgiving. Mel feels that because Dean sacrifices to live here in Australia she would give him his favourite holiday. He is so lucky that Mel gets a kick out of doing this stuff. The pies were prepared the day before and most of the prep for other dishes, peeling potatoes and stuff. So on the Thursday all Mel had to do was pop everything in the oven. She had actually been preparing herself all month as this was her first Thanksgiving to prepare the whole meal herself. She watched the food channel non stop and emailed friends to make sure she did the right things. The smile on her husbands face when he was eating was the pay off. What a great day we had. Dean and Jackson tried to play cricket but Jackson's hay fever played up, Kealin wouldn't get out of his spider man outfit, and Mel was really hurting as shes not even supposed to be standing. Oh well Hope you all had as much fun as we did.
