Happy Thanksgiving

As Thanksgiving weekend approached Zoe and I entered discussions on what to do for our first holiday alone in Nova Scotia. Do we ignore the holiday and pretend its any other day? Do we follow previous traditions with turkey and pumpkin pie? Do we develop our own traditions? Do we just have fun?

We decided have fun with some tradition thrown in. We love getting dressed up and cooking. We decided to have a pamper day where Zoe will do our nails and make up, we do our hair and wear fancy dresses! We bought a pumpkin, a ham, potatoes and still have lots of apples on our trees for a dessert. So...plan made.

We started the weekend of glam by getting blinged out as Zoe and I both got some sparkle in our noses!

Then came Sunday morning, we cut open a pumpkin, made pumpkin muffins, roasted pumpkin seeds and made pumpkin lattes! (If only we liked the taste of pumpkin!!)








Then we moved on to the beauty portion of the day. Nails done, dresses on, make up applied, hair styled.







Finally photo shoot time. We drove to Savary Park and then onto Gilbert's Cove Lighthouse and although it is cold and windy, we got some fantastic pictures of each other!

Back for dinner. This was the first full Thanksgiving dinner I have cooked myself and it turned out very yummy if I do say so.

Whether today was filled with traditions. Friends and family, good food, football and wine, or whether this was a year for new beginnings and new traditions, we hope you all enjoyed your day as much as we did.
