Thanksgiving 2013

We had such an amazing Thanksgiving celebration starting with Wednesday afternoon when my oldest brother Ted, my SIL Paula and nephew Sam arrived {Sam is my brothers foster son but he has quickly become a part of our family}.    We spent the evening watching Star Wars and watching my brother and boys have light saber battles in my living room.  The boys also helped Uncle Ted peel potatoes for the Thanksgiving Dinner.

Late in the evening my other brother, SIL Kelly and nephew Caleb also arrived and we played a rousing game of Liverpool Rummy after eating some pizza.  This is always such a fun time with lively conversation and lots of visits down memory lane.

On Thanksgiving morning I like to ease into my day and watch the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and the Dog Show, but instead after breakfast we finished decorating the Christmas tree with the non-breakable personal ornaments that the kids love putting on the tree.

Then I headed out to spend a few hours with my youngest niece Calli and her fiance Bryan taking engagement pictures in advance of their October 2014 wedding date.

After the shoot I set up for family photos we were taking later in the afternoon while the men folk all played golf in the back yard hitting balls down into the river whilst the women folk all looked on ;-)

Wonderful day spent with all of my family.  Twenty-five people gathered together in celebration of all that we have to be thankful for from the Lord.
