We had a full house this year for Thanksgiving. My parents, sister, little brother, big brother, and his wife joined Kris, Jennika, Rebecca, Michael and I for the weekend. It was wonderful to get to be home for a holiday and be the hostess and my family was so generous to make the long trip. Here are some highlights:

 We had a wonderful, huge feast. You can kinda see my little tummy too.

Sister time is one of my favorite highlights of our gatherings. The only thing that would have made it better was if my littlest sister, Olivia, could have joined us. 

This year we had a Talent Show in the evening. Everybody brought a “talent” (we used that term loosely!) It was hilarious, informative, and so much fun to perform for one another. I hope it becomes a tradition. 

Jennika was going to show her talent with identifying her body parts, but she got stage fright…and yes she is wearing just a onesie and leg-warmers. 🙂

It was such a fun weekend! I am so grateful to have such a wonderful and loving family. I am realizing what a blessing it is that we just like each other and want to spend time together.
