Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving at Ted and Pat's this year. The whole family was there (about 22 of us), but the babies, Maddox and Matthew, were the center of attention. I never did get a picture of the two of them together, but Chuck got some great video.

Here's Maddox with Grandpa and one of the many balls from the toy box.

As usual, Ted Jr. carved the turkey. Just missing from this picture is the Roto-Rooter man under the sink. Yes, the plumbing got totally clogged from all the potato peels in the disposal, and gunk was backing up in the bathtub - gross! Fortunately, all was working in time for dinner, and in plenty of time to wash all the dishes.

After dinner, we took pictures of the three generations.


Here are the "babies"- they did a great job of posing when we gave Maddox and Matthew some balls and got them all to say "hot dog".

Here are the "middles" - Jenna used to be the baby of the whole family, but no more!

And here are the "oldies but goodies"- actually, this was the toughest group to photograph. We never did get everyone to look at the camera at the same time.

It was great to be together, and we are all so thankful for our wonderful family!

Wow! That is the best smile and face Kyle has ever made for a picture! It was a great Thanksgiving. I am very thankful for my family!

Great pictures! That exact same thing has happened to us on Thanksgiving (and other times too). They claim potatoe skins are the worst in the garbage disposal. Now I just throw them out instead of trying to shove them down. Looks like you had a good time. Fun to see your family.

Jane, I can't believe it --- I had that same problem with potato skins many years ago at Thanksgiving. I don't put them down the garbage disposal anymore either, even for just one potato! Great pictures. Sandy
