Thanksgiving...part 1

We have lots of Thanksgiving celebrations in my family. 3 to be exact. My sweet and generous parents do their dinner the Sunday before so all of us kids can go to the other side of the families' and not have to rush around on the big day. On Thursday, we always go up to Raymond in the morning to visit John's dad's side of the family and then we head back down late afternoon to celebrate with John's mom's side of the family. So we had our first of three dinners yesterday, and it was yummy. There was 14 adults and 8 kids total. My mom had the garage decorated so beautifully and we ate in there. It was so nice to not have to cram into the kitchen. We all had plenty of room to move around. It was kind of a zoo, but fun to watch all the kids play. Now if we could just get Max to play nicely, life would be good! Here are some pictures:


We always take a family picture at my parent's house. It's tradition!







Notice this scratch above John's eye. He missed his mouth when taking a drink of his soda and cut his eyebrow! What a nerd!
