All of us (minus Ella)
The Guys couldn't get a Turkey Bowl game together so they settled for early morning basketball!
The Turkey Contraption
Reading stories while waiting for dinner.
The Kid's Table! Aunt Jilly helped them make their own table cloth.
Our Table...and yes that is what the Turkey is supposed to look like! After marinating in Italian dressing for 3 days, and then deep frying it, this is what you get, and while it looks a little scary, it's delicious!
I think Aunt Jilly and Uncle Dane were definately the favorites. They were such good sports to play games, hold kids, read books, etc etc etc with all the neices and nephews.
We were very excited to have my family come for Thanksgiving this year. We missed Jen and her family and my Dad, but everyone else was here. We had 16 people total in our little house! It was crazy but so fun. Thanks to a nice big basement I think we were all realtively comfortable. We enjoyed 2 deep fried turkeys, tons of other yummy yummy food, game playing, black friday shopping and a birthday party for my nephew Ayden so we packed in the fun and it was a blast!

I can't believe how big your family is getting! you all have such cute kids! Tell them all hi for me! Merry Christmas!
Kathleen, it's so fun to read your blog. I'm so happy you are by family and loving it all. I miss you and your kids. Tonight is Sal's last game night. It's sad to see Tony's good friends all leaving too. Anyway, we miss you guys.
That was probably my best Thanksgiving ever. It even topped last years (which was awesome)! We had so much fun, and the FEAST was amazing. I still need to do a post! WE miss all the kids lots... and I think daily of little Maddy saying, "my aunt Jilly" and I laugh out loud everytime... tell the girls we love them... we miss you all!
