| The pie lineup: Mango Merengue, two Pumpkins, and Caramel Tart |
It was the perfect combination of tradition and laid back aussie charm. We sipped wine and beer (Budweiser, as our guests wanted to be authentic American) while the turkey cooked, then cheerfully gave thanks before enjoying our meal.

| Simple but delicious: turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, peas, corn & rolls |
We ended up eating quite late, but no one minded and the food was worth the wait. Boyfriend (the cook in this household) made his first turkey. It turned out beautifully!

Near midnight we all decided to take a stroll down to the beach. We lay in the sand, looking at the stars and listening to the waves crash in the dark. This was my second Thanksgiving away from my family, but on this night I was filled with so much warmth and gratitude for this beautiful place, my friends, and my supportive boyfriend who does everything he can to make me feel at home. Now it's time to welcome the holiday season!
