Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
Wow, this was the most untraditional/international Thanksgiving ever. Saturday was my sister-in-law's baby shower, and my mother-in-law couldn't really host and cook at the same time, so we ordered Chinese food for dinner. I got to bring home lots of crackers and weird cheese from the shower, as well as some Chinese leftovers. Then Sunday we went over to my mom's house and she is not getting along too well with her family at the moment so dinner was very small; I made my stuffed pumpkin (which was the most "traditional" of all the weekend meals) and my mom made steaks. Then on Monday my dad had us over for dinner with my grandmother, and he made a curry - Rob said it tasted exactly the way he'd expect a Thanksgiving curry to taste, because obviously everyone tries to imagine a Thanksgiving curry. I bet you will now, too! ;-)
Rob arrived on Friday and is leaving later this afternoon. We haven't been together that long since August, so that was incredibly nice. Obviously this being a holiday we spent a lot of time with our families, but we did manage to get time to ourselves as well. I don't think I need to tell you what we did with our couple time...
Also, we now own a new (or almost new) car! It is a 2009 white Hyundai Accent, and I will need to learn how to drive it at some point. So goodbye, 1999 Cavalier, I will be reassured to know that Rob is safer driving between Ottawa and Val-d'Or now!
