Giving Thanks

There were 27 of us gathered this year for a yummy Ken VoFo style Thanksgiving feast. We all arrived in stages thanks to good 'ol traffic but made it all the same to enjoy the food and company.

It was really nice to get together and visit. It seems like it went by in a flash. We had so much action going on. There was for sure never a dull moment. We were never in short supply on the noise level as the little ones scurried about entertaining themselves.

The kids enjoyed watching a movie, playing the Wii, a little duck duck goose, Grandma's vast toy closet, and running around inside as well as outside. They were so excited to see each other and just play as much as possible. I don't think I heard very much bickering and with 9 cousins that is a miracle.


As time slipped by we enjoyed every minute. Jeff ended up with my flu so he was a bit drained and ready to pack up to go after the meal was concluded. We ended up taking Taylor and Kendra for a girls sleepover and heading home.

The girls were really good and had a great time sleeping together. We were gearing up for more activities to come as the VoFo family gather tradition was not over yet and this was just the start of our fun.
