Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a bit of a mystery in Canada. Not even Canadians seem to know exactly what they are meant to be giving thanks for!  The general consensus is that it is for harvest, but it could be family, friends, snow, life...anything you feel like being thankful for really!  There was a huge thanksgiving dinner organized in the main Village Centre Mall for the whole community with games outside for the children first and then a potluck dinner....everybody brings something to contribute.  There were about 200 people, and a live auction. The children from the school had all written haikus and Charlie had to read his out together with another couple of kids.  The money raised was for the Powder Hounds, a charity for disabled skiers and the Freestyle team which Charlie has decided to take part in this year.  All in all $4000 was raised..a good fun evening too!

The reason Ned looks the way he does is because I tried to fix the red eye on Ned but without much success!
