Thanksgiving Dinner!

Thanksgiving Dinner was one big affair this year! Jim brought over a 10 kilo turkey, that he cooked to absolute perfection on his grill and everyone contributed to the great meal! Thanks to Jim Street for the perfect turkey and everyone else that brought over food and drinks. After eating, we read a thanksgiving message altogether and had some tunes together, altogether a very fun evening!
