Two Birthdays and a Turkey

This Thanksgiving weekend I went back home to Nanaimo. Thanksgiving is always special not only because I get to eat a big turkey dinner but it’s also a celebration of two birthdays. My dad’s birthday is on the 10th and mine is on the 11th. So you can imagine there is a lot of food! For my Dad’s birthday, we celebrated by having a big turkey dinner with all the fixings. I was stuffed to the max. I was so full I couldn’t even bend down to tie my shoes. I just had enough room for cake at the end just to fill in the cracks.

For my 30th birthday, Phebe and I decided to go to The Keg to celebrate. I had the top sirloin dinner and Phebe had the mushroom balsamic chicken. I was stuffed to the max as well (I think it’s because of the bread they give out at the beginning). We also had complimentary cheesecake for my birthday. Later that evening I also had my birthday cake at home. I was all “caked” out.
