Thanksgiving 2009

We have many things to be thankful for this year! For one, after many sicknesses for my sister's family and ours we were able to all be together for Thanksgiving (and my Dad too). My highlight was going around the table and listening to what each person was thankful for. I'm so thankful for our family! The kids are so fun to watch as they interact and play together (all ten of them)! My Sister has teenagers now...and that makes it even more entertaining and exciting! Really! Only one thing would have made it better, and that would have been to have my Mom back with us. We always miss her, especially on holidays when we are all together and her lack of presence is so obvious.

I posted some pictures of our Thanksgiving dinner.

Marissa, Kristol, Opa, and Asha.

Ernst, Luke, Matt, Trevor, and Malaya.

Asha, Annalise, Lana, Aubrey, Tyler, and Ernst.

The fun craft we did with the kids to make the name cards for the table. So fun!

Happy Thanksgiving All!!

How special! I just love those crowded family tables where everyone is bumping elbows, everyone is talking at the same time and there's lots of laughter. So special that you are so close with your sister and her family!
