Thanksgiving

 I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving Day. I've been praying for several of you who were sick and couldn't gather with friends or family, and for others for whom this day was hard for a variety of reasons.
I wanted to share a few pictures of my day.  We were gathering with my side of the family.  It's a lot of people and we usually gather at our house, but in the family room downstairs.  Because our numbers are getting bigger and because it's harder for my Dad to get downstairs, we used our church for the gathering.  I've shared before that my Dad is on Hospice.  We didn't expect to be having him with us this Thanksgiving, so this is something we were all thankful for.

Everyone brought something!  We had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, brussels sprouts, corn, green bean casserole, salad, and later pie.  No one went hungry!

Dad and Ann - they really enjoyed the meal.

The whole gang!  We were missing Andy and Nikki in KY, my niece Halle in NY, and my niece Katelyn's husband Nathan who was sick.

Andrew, Heather and Cassie

Aaron, Laura, Alaina and Ruby

Cassie's shirt said "tiny turkey"

Alaina told me to take this picture because they were all posed so nice!

Laura brought along this beautiful flower arrangement she made for my birthday.

Alaina and Ruby also made some things for me.

and they also drew me some pictures.  :)

We took some pictures.  This is my siblings and I with our dad, in order of birth.  Me, my brother Duane, sister Terri and sister Cheri.

Here's Dad and Ann with most of the grandkids and great grandkids.

Then we played some virtual reality games.  
What a fun day, and a reminder of how much I have to be thankful for.
