A Journal, with Pictures

Broth­er Mike and Sis­ter Pat­ty arrived from Ore­gon on the Mon­day before Thanks­giv­ing. We had Tues­day to hang out and catch up. Weath­er cold and rainy so they felt right at home. Wednes­day evening Jen­nifer, Mike and Alexan­dra arrived from Flori­da. Thurs­day, we cel­e­brat­ed in at tra­di­tion­al fam­i­ly way with break­fast, foot­ball, Thanks­giv­ing din­ner, and more foot­ball, with lots of social­iz­ing the whole day. Alexan­dra has been work­ing hard with school and her many extra cur­ric­u­lar activ­i­ty so she real­ly enjoyed watch­ing TV and just being a 9 year old girl. Thanks­giv­ing din­ner was fan­tas­tic, with Pat­ty and Jen­nifer help­ing Joyce the mas­ter chef pre­pare the tra­di­tion­al feast.

We all had much to be thank­ful for and enjoyed just being family.
