As a family with two little boys we said good bye to our family, friends, playgroup, beaches, playgrounds and everything we held dear for a two year adventure. Destination: Denver, Colorado. What did we know about it? John Denver liked it around here didnt he?

Toddlers embrace a new world with the wonder, enthusiasm and passion. Charlie said to me the other day. "Mum I just learnt about fall, its like autumn... but do pumpkins fall from the sky in fall?" I want to look at this adventure with the same sense of fun. So this is my attempt....

Thanksgiving

Our first thanksgiving was so much fun. Especially because Mum was here with us so we had a beautiful table with an ironed tablecloth....

 Charlie and I painted and cut out Turkeys with thankful thoughts on the feathers.


We cooked everything we were supposed to...Roast Turkey, mashed potato, sweet potato, bean casserole, two types of cranberry, apple pie, pumpkin pie...phew.
  This is me attempting to carve the turkey.



A lazy session at the park was required afterwards! 

Best new surprise was Cranberry Salsa.
1 pound cranberries, 1 orange, 3/4 cup sugar. Blitz it up!
