Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Today we celebrated Thanksgiving in Durand at Bill and LaNita's house with about 35 other members of our family. We had an AWESOME meal (thanks, Dorwins!), and it was a lot of fun seeing everyone again. Of course, there were those unable to attend this year that we missed... I tried to get pictures of almost everyone that was there today for those of you that were unable to join us here in Wisconsin to let you know we were thinking of you. I, for one, am so thankful for my family--my husband, my kids, my parents and parents-in-law, sisters, brothers, and the sisters and brothers-in-laws, nieces and nephews, grandmas and grandpas, all of my aunts and uncles, cousins, and extended family. I was reminded today how lucky we are to be able to get together as a family, and how we should not take these get-togethers for granted. I am thankful for last year's Thanksgiving celebration at Dorwin's house, as it was the last time I was able to talk to Sharon here on Earth. Remember to cherish the time together with family and friends!

Here are some LOVELY pictures for you to enjoy (in no particular order) of our day of feasting and family. Abby and Andrew colored the signs for me especially for people to pose with for my blog...

Enjoy!
