My day was great.
I sat down and figured out how many relatives we have and in our immediate family there are 93 people!
Not all of them came to my house today!
There was much too much to eat and lots of love.
I was an orphan of spirit growing up.
Marrying Tom gave me enough family to fill the hollow spots.
We are a loud and loving bunch.
Caitlin and I , all sepia
Laughter around the table
Caitlin, who climbed on every roof, all trees and most door jambs, looked concerned & asked, "should Seth be in that tree?"
More babies on the way...we breed like rabbits!
we are indiscreet (and in the street)
My yard was in sad need of some little running feet.
Yeah, we also ate way too much!
Wishing all of you smooth digestion and warm sleep tonight,
Marti

LOL you all sound like my family. Actually I just think it's a Texas thing. Glad the day went well and everyone was happy.
Take care, Chrissie
You are blessed having such a large and close family. Dawn
Large families are nice. When I was younger our family was more nuclear now they are spread out over the darn US...so we do not get together too often. Your photos are cute...love, Sandi
Ahh, Marti's house! The perfect blend of brood and brewed, and no one's ever bored!
Happy you had a blessed day, full of love, laughter and memories!~kbear

It sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving. I am very happy for you. Hugs. Tish G.
Thanks for sharing your family again... you look content, happy... no denying the love in your family. I haven't even tried counting the relatives in our immediate families.... so you counted grandparents, great grandparents on both sides of your family, and aunts and uncles? Yours could start small village to be sure! love bea
