Thanksgiving 2013

This Thanksgiving was the same as usual and then again different and wonderful.  I seem to gravitate toward having most of the same food items for our feast.  I love tradition and remembering how our parents and grandparents had some of the same foods and traditions. 

We enjoyed our time with our daughters and their families.  We are so thankful that they get along so well and the cousins truly love each other.  The older cousins are so good and patient with the little boys.  Again, so thankful.

We were able to get some family photos taken while everyone was here.  This is not a favorite activity of the grandkids or the sons-in-law, but they humored me and went along.  Melissa’s family had a friend in Houston take her photos before Thanksgiving so she could have her cards ready to send in early December.  All the other photos were take by me!

Some of these photos will be used for Christmas cards.  We are on to the Advent season….anticipation of the coming of Christ into the world.  How glorious!
