Jaden and Hubby battaling it out in a dance-off in between cooking thanksgiving dinner

Thanksgiving Turned Out To Be Wild Fun After All







Sorry it has been a while since my last post.Lots of amazing things has been happening in my life and my blog ends up suffering from this. i promise to make the time to keep posting on a more regular basis.

So Thanksgiving turned out to be wild fun after all. The hubby and I hosted thanksgiving dinner for our respective siblings, thier significant other's and also another yummy mummy friend of mine Janell and her hubby and son Phoenix.

Always trying to be the perfect hostess I started the day in the wee hours of the morning cooking. My "job" was to cook all the side dishes (like 5 of them) while my hubby cooked the turkey.Hubby cooked a turkey which meant at the end of the night he took all the credit for the entire thanksgiving meal. Of course the hard labor and hours I spent cooking 5 side dishes, cleaning the kitchen,setting the table was slightly over-looked.

I will say though the time spent in the kithen cooking turned into a dance off between my hubby and son Jaden. I could not stop laughing my head off. Loads of red wine was bought, Janell made the most scrumptious red velvet cake. Dinner was delicious indeed and as always once my brother Ben Buck, hubby's 2 sister's Melanie and Andrea, cousin Daniel get together well the party begins.

Daniel,Jaden and Phoneix put on another dance show for us to thier favourite song Boom Boom by the Black Eyed Peas. These boys were quite impressive. And you can see us Mum's were silently being competitve to see which boy danced the best.

Christmas is more my thing(my xmas tree was up the day after Halloween) but after so many years living in the States and now having a family of my own, thanksgiving is truly a fun holiday and a day to give Thanks for all one's blessing.
