Thanksgiving in Kiama

This year our great friend Drew hosted us for Thanksgiving at his place in Kiama (where we stayed on our trip down the South coast). Alyssa and I cooked all day Friday and Saturday and put on (what everyone said) was a fantastic feast. We had two turkeys, one roasted the traditional way that Alyssa and I did, and one in a deep fryer that Drew prepared. We were all a little nervous that we were going to burn the house down, but it was pretty good -- who doesn't love fried food? It was a calorie filled but relaxing time with great friends, and a chance for us to hang out with Oliver (our friends Rupert and Poppy's baby) who you'll see in a lot of the photos. To add to the excitement it was election night, so not only did we celebrate Thanksgiving, but a changing of the guard in Australian politics.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends and family near and far -- even though we're far away from many of you you are always in our thoughts, and we're very thankful for your love and friendship. We hope all is well with you, and that if we haven't talked to you recently we can soon.

Love, Tracy and Carl
