Happy Thanksgiving

We all made the yearly pilgrimage to Mother's house for Thanksgiving. We counted 41 people, a bit lower than usual, but still a big group.This bunch is mostly DB's family ...

His son Edward

And his daughter Marilyn.

And this is my great nephew, Brad (one of Durand's twins) with his baby girl, Madeline, the woodland sprite.

Here is my baby girl, Carrie, and her husband Lonny,

not to be confused, of course, with my husband Lonnie!

Older brother, Buddy.

Here's Eugene with his "baby girl" Deena and girlfriend Judy Lynn.

And here's Eugene, pretending to be Daddy Wayne.

Neil and Lisa, Eugene and Deena ...

And Kaitlyn, Neil & Lisa's baby girl. Isn't she beautiful?

And Jon's baby girl, Kylie.

And Toby's baby girl, Amanda. (Gee, seems like we have an awful lot of baby girls, doesn't it?)

Well, here's my oldest baby girl, Amber,

And Amber with her three boys.

Thanksgiving Day was also Zelmon's birthday. He was one of the litter born in 1999. This is a picture of him with Gail, his grandmother, my sister.

This is Cotton, Amber's middle boy, and Chuckie, Gail's youngest.

And Gail's husband Bruce, in his usual after-Thanksgiving-dinner pose.

Gail and Bruce's 2nd-oldest son, Brad, was killed in a Harley accident in 1994. His bike has just been in storage all these years, but a guy who works for Eugene is a magician when it comes to working with metal, and he's straightened the frame. They're going to put the whole thing back together now. It should be beautiful when they're finished.

There's always so much food! This is just the main table. You can't see the deviled eggs or the dessert table.

And this is after everybody got through eating!

My best guys, Lonnie and D.B.!

I hope you all had a happy and blessed Thanksgiving. I know we did!
