Thanksgiving has always been our familys special holiday to get together on. This holiday goes right along with the warm fuzzy feel-good feelings! Family, friends, food & fun along with all those great colors even if the weather has already turned cold and looks like winter.
A first holiday in a "new" house is always special too. Special gatherings, holidays, company for meals seem to cement the "making the house a home" feeling.
Because all my side of the family had other plans this year and my married girls were with their husband's familys, we invited a few others to be with us and our two older boys. It worked out for some of Leon's family to be with us this year too.
There was alot of this going on--
The
The baby was happy (and cute!)
Our company was delightful (Too bad I didn't get Duane in this one too!)
The food was plentiful!
The baby was kissable. (Did I mention so cute?!)
We had 6 kids between the ages of 3 and 6!
The tables were full
And desserts were waiting.
I do believe this is the first time in over 30 years we've shared Thanksgiving with you Lori! The only other time I remember is the year before Leon and I were married. So glad your family got to come--and join us!
On the other hand, as many great pictures as my kids get just PLAYING with my camera--WHY when I deliberately give them the camera and permission to take lots of pictures do I generally only get goofy-unfocused ones?
Looks like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! And you're right.....very CUTE baby! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a wonderful day, too! I loved my way too short days of family time!
ReplyDeleteThat baby is one good looking baby! And the rest of the people don't look so bad either.
