| Shae and Luke Curious About Thanksgiving Food |
Today was one of my favorite days in Melbourne. Liz, Emily, Josh and I prepared a Thanksgiving feast for our entire Melbourne family. It was awesome! This was one of the those times that it really came in handy to have a brother who is a chef! We spent all day cooking, cleaning and preparing Thanksgiving dinner. None of us had ever cooked a turkey before but we decided it was an absolute necessity for Thanksgiving. It was so much more fun because they don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia, so for most of my family it was their first Thanksgiving. Josh made biscuits and a cheesecake (Polly's favorite) and we made stuffing and potatoes from scratch. It was fun just spending the time together making it, and I even got some time to explain to Shae the meaning of Thanksgiving. Liz and I were so afraid we were going to miss Thanksgiving so it was perfect that we got to celebrate with a crowd that we wouldn't normally get to share it with.

Lex and Brooke also came over, and during the dinner we all said one thing we were thankful for. I teared up just a bit just saying how thankful I was for my mom. The food was delicious, it turned out perfectly. We took some time getting group photos of everyone together on Thanksgiving. All the aussies seemed to like Thanksgiving food. An hour or so later we had cheesecake (made by Josh), apple pie and ice cream and some tea. I just had a great time spending time with everyone I don't get to see often enough. The dinner was a huge success and I told Josh he has to carry on the tradition every year.
