Family Thanksgiving

Warning,

the following blog contains pictures that are purely a subjective effort to show off what a great family I have. It's not very hard to do. We've got to be one of the best.

One of the traditions of my immediate family is to get together at my son and daughter's apartment (yes, they live together, amazing huh?) on Thanksgiving Eve and make pies.

Left to Right is Saray (Michele and Stan's daughter), Maureen (Eric's Girlfriend), Christine, Michele and Raiph (the not quite yet born son of Michele and Stan)

Saray was a big help. Many years ago we went with the kids to our friends house, Fr Jack to make Christmas cookies. He never invited us back but came to our house every year after that. The reason, He and his friend Helen spent several days cleaning up. I sure he really enjoys seeing this payback mess.

Audrey is just plain cute!

But she wanted nothing to do with the great grand children picture!

Just about the entire clan present "giving thanks"

On the way home from Seattle, I stopped at Coeur d'Alene to watch the lighted parade and fireworks with Michele, Stan, Saray, Teresa and John.

There, now that wasn't too bad. But you must admit. Pretty cool family.
