It is always so hard to get together with our extended families now that everyone has families of their own. However, I am so glad that we still try to make an effort to do it. This year my mom’s side decided to do it early because it was what worked best for most people. I think we are going to continue to do it early and just call it our Christmas/Thanksgiving.
Lucas smothering Megan like usual and Jacob and Kelsey hanging out like usual.
Natey with Sr. Bernadette and some of the men talking. It is actually amazing that Sr. Bernadette is still around. She was not giving a good prognosis earlier this summer and didn’t have much time. However, she went through a surgery and dialysis and is been given the gift of time. It was nice to be able to see her, though the afternoon really wore her out.
The adults always bring a gift and then play dirty bingo. This year the kids tried their own version.
Cards are always a big part of any family get together, on both sides actually. We had to chuckle because here are the young men playing their own version of poker (they went around the room collecting money), which wasn’t even close to poker, but they thought they were cool. It’s fun because I think back to all the fun times I had with my cousins at all the gatherings. Now, our kids are doing the same thing. The older men and ladies got their game of cards in as well.
We tried to get a few family photos outside. This was the best one.
It was a nice day, relaxing and fun.
