Thanksgiving #1

 It's TURKEY DAY!  Time for all the family and guests to gather at Jaime's for food and fun!  Another day to be so thankful for all the wonderful blessings we have in our lives!

Our family consisted of the 16 of us and we also had Bev (Robby's mom) and her boyfriend Gary join us along with Rayna and Matias' 3 roommates - they are a family, Angela, Ryan and Enso!

Once again, we had plenty of great food to eat!

Look at these 2 soon to be teenagers - STOP GROWING UP!


Our 3 beautiful daughters!!


It's always a little crazy in the kitchen trying to get everything ready at the last moment!  Luckily Jaime has a HUGE kitchen which makes it so nice!


And the line has started!!  We have gone to using huge heavy paper plates - sure saves on some of the dish washing!  Our typical meal was served along with a fruit tray and dip and egg rolls brought by Angela - they were delicious!


Yes, we know you have food in your mouth boys!!  They never cease to make me laugh!


Here's one of the tables.


And here's the other one!


It was wonderful weather outside and several times we had to open the door as it got too hot in the kitchen!  I always love taking a picture with the girls!


After clean-up the afternoon passed WAY too fast - we did eat a little later than usual as Gary had to work that morning so the Keppys didn't arrive till 11:30 - but somehow we still didn't get around to serving till about 12:45!

A walk was in order late afternoon after desserts - once again Jessi outdid herself on those and they tasted great!!  Some of us walked down the driveway in the snow - yes, we had 3 to 4 inches the night before!


Family pictures up next!
