Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!!

We are having the most gorgeous weather for this time of year!!!  So thankful!! 

Tonight we are having a bit of a Friendsgiving dinner with four international students from the university.  We don't have table space or a whole heck of a lot of room, but we will have meatballs, ham, mashed potatoes, brandied carrots, and fresh veggies and dip. One of the guys is bringing pumpkin pie.  It will be fun to have others to share the holiday.


We enjoyed a Corn Maze yesterday.  Annabel ran and ran and then slept all afternoon!  The weather was warm where a hat was not needed after all, but Annabel wanted to keep it on.
She ate some of this corn before we noticed and stopped her and then she said, "This is for cows."









For the past few weeks, Annabel has been really into Thomas the Train, where she expects to be referred to as Thomas.  Eric is usually Percy and I'm usually Emily.  The last few days, however, we have been Bash, Dash, and Ferdinand (the Logging Locos).  Occasionally Annabel is Henry, Rosie, or James.  It's a bit hard to keep track.  It often goes like this:  "Thomas, can you come here please."  "No, I'm Bash."  "Oh, Bash, can you come here please." "No, I'm James."



A few weeks ago, we went to a small pumpkin patch.  They don't have the really big ones like in Wisconsin, but we still had fun and enjoyed pumpkin everything: soup, pie, and donuts.

The goal was to hit the pumpkin to the hoop with the golf club.  It took her awhile.


Horse-pulled wagon ride.








Annabel and I walked to church this morning, while Eric stayed home to start making the meatballs.  We have so much to be thankful for this year.
