Thanksgiving Day or Weekend!!!

Wow what a fun Thanksgiving we have had.    Every year we have a tradition of having all of John's family come over early on Thanksgiving day, we eat and cook and eat and eat all day.  We play games and do puzzles and the kids make up dances.  This year was no different.  We also have my Mom and Dad over as well.  All of my siblings are living out of state.

We played games until 2:30 A.M, sat in the hot tub and laughed soooo much.  We really do have a wonderful family.   I have said this before but,   I love how different everyone is in their religious beliefs and politics and lots of other ways, but when we get together we put all those differences aside and just enjoy, and love each other for who they are.  I am very blessed to have such wonderful in laws to share my life with.  Thanks guys you are wonderful.


This is us playing Nertz.  This got out of control crazy!!!!  We had I think 8 or 10 playing at one point.  Cards were flying off the tables and people pushing and throwing cards to get them on the right piles.  It was a ton of fun.   We also played Pitt which is also out of control craziness.
The kids choreograph these incredible dances every time they are together.   They are all such talented dancers.   They slept out in the motorhome and partied all night.  They are such great cousins and love each other so much, never a fight or problem.

I think we had like 30 people in my kitchen at one time.  I just sat on a stool and watched everyone cook.  It was beautiful.
