Pendleton Family Thanksgiving .....

We celebrated Thanksgiving with my family the weekend

prior to Thanksgiving. We always get together either the weekend

before or the weekend after so that families are not rushing 

around on Thanksgiving day having to eat 2 or 3 meals!

our niece Aimee and Alex open up their home for the family

and everyone loves it there

As Johnny calls it, it is the "fun home"

here are my 2 little princess'

Avery Grace and Lorraine Leona

so sweet that Aimee had the little table and chairs set up

for the little ones and it had the butcher paper on it for them

to color on. 

everyone pitches in and brings one or two dishes

there is 31 one of us....I think I have that number right. 

We know Momma and Daddy would be so happy that we 

continue to always be together during the holidays

Lorraine and Marshall still busy coloring....

Gabe and Declan watching some football

John Thomas

Lorraine is never too sure about Uncle Jake

and we were laughing so much about how she was looking at him

I wished I had snapped a picture of all of us....holding hands and

our brother Tracy saying the blessing

after eating, I decided to go around and get silly selfies with everyone
