A very special thanksgiving

Even though I was away from my family for this thanksgiving I was able to still celebrate.  With a lot of help from my amazing boyfriend Dan I was able to have my own thankgiving here in the UK.  Neither of us wanted to clean a turkey so we opted for some nice chicken.  We also had green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, squash, diner rolls, and baked beans.  For two beginners we did very well.  I attempted to make an apple pie for dessert.  The pie was ok, but the meal was amazing. As we cooked we listened to some holiday toons on my computer to help get us in the holiday spirit.  I was so thankful to celebrate thanksgiving with Dan, the holidays just aren't the same if you're not with the ones you love.  Our first thanksgiving was a huge success and after the meal we treated ourselves to a night out at the cinema.  Being the huge James Bond fan that I am I wanted to see the new Bond movie Skyfall which was awesome!  We took the train to the next town over and caught the show which was in a shopping center that was decorated for the holidays.    They had put up their trees and strung them with lights which signaled the begining of the holiday season for me.
