Happy Turkey Day!


Maddie had lots of visitors for Thanksgiving this year. In addition to Mamma and Chester Raccoon, she was joined by Bammy, Papa Ricky, Alex and Pam. Daddy also managed to take a vacation day.

For some reason, the British just don't celebrate Thanksgiving (strangely, they don't celebrate the 4th of July either). However, they do allow the Americans to hold a Thanksgiving day service at St. Pauls Cathedral, which Maddie attended with her family.

She then spent the rest of the day preparing the Thanksgiving day feast (practically all by herself) and then eating it with all her guests. Daddy said it was really good, and he ate way too much just to prove it.

Maddie invites anyone who would like to experience an American's Thanksgiving in London to come visit her next year. Or, if you can't make it for Thanksgiving, come when it suits you best.
