Canadian Thanksgiving 2006

Description

Canada does Thanksgiving on the 2nd Monday in October so for us this will be on 14 October 2019 - or next Monday!! We also happen to have a federal election on that same day as well!!

So my very first thanksgiving page is from a set of photos of our extended family in the year 2006, when John was just 4 years old. He is the youngest grandchild on both sides of the family, which makes sense since his dad and I married late. We didnt get married until we were in our 30s.

Anyway this means that pretty much all of John's cousins are several years older than him. In these photos we are at the home of my husbands brother who married a woman from Trinidad and Tobago. She went through the immigration process to immigrate to Canada permanently. Eventually most of her family were also able to immigrate to Canada as well. So most of her extended family also attend these Thanksgiving dinners.

My brother and sister in law have 3 sons - 2 of them are with John in the bottom left photo and the oldest son is in the middle photo having just piled his plate high with food. The two oldest boys were still in high school back then, and the youngest was in middle school.

The kitchen duty photo at bottom right shows the oldest cousin on the far right, his maternal cousin in white, and her mother wearing red. She is a sister (or a sister in law - I cant remember which) to my brother-in-laws wife and and the BIL's wife is at the back wearing pale yellow with her back to the camera.
