Happy Thanksgiving

A full (In more ways than one) fun, noisy day!!!  We left home at 6:30 and headed for G'pa and G'ma F's house via the nursing home where my Grandma B is.  She is content and sweet.  Wish I had remembered to get a picture.  My parents' house was bursting at the seams with food and grandchildren.  8 boys and 8 girls... 21, 18, 16, 15,   13, 13, 13, 12, 11, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 4  (Hope I got that all right!) Oh, and their parents...My sister & husband, brother & wife and us.  It seemed kind of strange to all be together and not have a sweet, snuggly, crying baby to pass around.  Looking at the ages, I'd guess that about 13 years ago we were pretty busy passing babies around!  After eating a delicious lunch, complements of Dad & Mom, Clint & Dawn, Roger & Traci, and Bakers Square (yummy pies)  (Somehow we took the day off from cooking).  The kids played a couple of not so quiet games, we all had some lively conversations, and all of the kids got along beautifully.  The only almost skirmish of the day was a couple of the dads... one tried to sit on another...  Something about for old times sake... All in fun... I think, anyway.  So now, we're headed back home, full and happy.  Thanks Dad & Mom.
