It was a truly wonderful day. Of course, we started the day a little apprehensive with half our family on the road. As each of them "checked in" we breathed a sigh of relief and were glad to see the last family arrive.
We held most of the festivities over at Ed & Tiffany's place since they have the yard with the play set and lots of room to run around. There house is also a bit more "kid friendly". They also have both picnic tables and an extra refrigerator which helps make the cooking and serving work a little better.
We are so thankful this year that everyone is in tolerably good health; that we are expecting another grandchild next spring (Philip & Jenny); that everyone is employed at something that is honest and rewarding including stay-at-home moms; that the grandkids are growing up and becoming more capable each day.
Like last year we made it a family activity to make gingerbread houses from kits. All the kids (even the adult ones) enjoyed that activity.
We are truly Thankful!
