Family Feasts

Another Thanksgiving season has come and gone with great meals, many laughs and memories shared with our family.  We are so lucky to have both our families live close to us so we can spend the holidays together.

We had our usual celebration with my side of the family at Aunt Kacey and Uncle Eric's house.  It was a packed house with all the family there.  We may have set a new record for how fast the meal was consumed, I think I'm going to time next years meal to see how fast we eat.  I would be amazed if all the dishes had made it around the table once before we were done.

Here's the view from the head of the table and you can see how involved everyone is in their food.

Ben got a special treat and didn't get put down for his nap but he may have closed his eyes for a bit while playing video games with Nathan.

We had second Thanksgiving a week later with Matt's family and it was another great meal.  Grandma Z always gets out all the nice dishes and does the table up so nice.  It's funny that of all the grandkids only Ben has ever commented to her about the table.  He really likes how shiny all of the silverware and dishes are.

The whole table, again lots of serving and eating going on.

Thankful as ever for great family to build memories with year after year.
