How was your Thanksgiving? We had a great time with our parents, our children, and grandchildren over to our house for a feast. It was nice to have everyone together, and we were able to take a family photo.![Family photo 2011-11 Family photo 2011-11](http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Rpo0kebE0z0/TtFo8X6CkoI/AAAAAAAACfk/M0-DVSeQtjo/Family%252520photo%2525202011-11_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800)

Here is our oldest daughter and her family,
… our oldest son and his family,
both of our parents,
and Fr. Don, a friend of the family.
We set up the food and beverages up out in the garage, and serve buffet style. You could see more about how we organize and use our garage here.

We are thankful for our family!
How was your Thanksgiving?
Who did you spend the day with?
Did you do any Black Friday shopping? (This is the first year in a long time I stayed home.)
Parents of a Dozen
My first time in a long time missing Black Friday as well and I did not miss it one bed. How could I? I was tucked nice and warm into my bed as opposed to braving the cold and dealing with a bunch of rude people after the same thing I am.. Ha! :) What a beautiful familiy you all have!
ReplyDeleteWoops, that was supposed to say "I did not miss it one bit." :)
