My Thanksgiving was last month (crazy Canadians)...I skipped going to my aunt's (dad's family) or my grandma's (mom's side) and went to Chicago to dance.
Despite this, I still made pumpkin pie from scratch. I think this is my new tradition, since I only made pie for the first time last year. This year was fun though since I went over a friend's house to bake my pies and he later had thanksgiving for all our friends (when I was in Chicago). It was nice being able to participate in the potluck even if I wasn't there.
Every year the extended family heads up north to spend the weekend at the cottage - so a huge dinner with much wine consumed amongst all the fall colours on the lake.... perhaps my favourite event of the year. The weekend is also the time when we "close-up" the cottage - take in the docks, put boats into storage, take pump out of water, go for last swim
Oh and like Moosegirl said it was last month for us Canadians... so it's not to cold on/in the lake.
