Thanksgiving feast

Thanksgiving was fun this year. Most of our siblings and their families met at Renee's house to celebrate and stuff our faces. Unfortunately, I forgot to put new batteries in my camera. Here are some of the few pictures I was able to get. Here's the two people who made all this possible. My mom and dad - two of my favorite people. Speaking of 'Thanks' I am thankful they had 8 children. I don't know how they put up with us. I have a hard enough time with 2. However they did it I am grateful to have not only 7 sibling friends, but in-law friends who are every bit as much family to me. I love them all.What's better than two Doug's? They spent most of their time in the position you see pictured here - on the couch, hanging out. One belongs to me and the other to Michelle. Can you tell which is which?Paige and Benjamin. Paige was excited about her hair being done up with beautiful bows.This is the only picture I got of Preston. He is sitting with his playmate of the day, Nathan. They are both getting to an age where they play together instead of push each other down. That is a relief to both me and Renee'.Matt and Cathy. It's sad what happened to Cathy after her last hair-do. You wouldn't know it, but that is her permanent face. At least she looks somewhat happy. It would have been even more sad if she had more of a downturn to her mouth and looked scared or sad. We're glad she's stuck on the happy look. It's easier to deal with and I think she gets less comments at church and when she's out shopping. We love you anyway, Cathy! You have a special and sweet spirit.Jonathan, Jacob and Samantha.Nathan, Athena and Hazel.Benj (as we call him) and his brother, Christopher.
