Thanksgiving


We had a great day...it's amazing how much easier it is to keep track of your own kids when there are other kids around! My 3 younger cousins have been here this week, and Lauren and Kate had a ball with them! All Andy and I had to do was make sure Kate didn't eat cat food or fall down the stairs...easy. We had a fabulous meal, and I'm embarrassed to say that I wasn't asked to provide anything except strawberries and avocados (which turned out to be tasteless anyway) for the green salad..I did help carry all the table extensions back downstairs after dinner though! In the picture you will find...my mom, dad, brother, his girlfriend Mai (who we all really like), my sister Laura, my aunt Nancy, my uncle Ryan, and my little cousins Joel and David. Not seen, but very present were Andy, myself, Lauren, Kate, my other cousin Chris, and my grandmother. It was a long table...my mom basically sat in the hall on one end, and my dad and uncle basically sat in the entry on the other end. Something we all found funny was that my mom miscounted the number of people...the table was beautiful and perfectly laid, but when Andy took too long to come to the table, he found that there was no seat for him! Don't feel badly Andy...it would have happened to whomever was last! My mom was embarrassed, but we quickly shifted everyone down and set a new place. There was plenty of food for everyone, and then some...
