As you can see I’m the offical turkey carver in our family.  We held Thanksgiving over at my oldest daughter Tara’s place.  They have enough room to accommodate the clan that was present.  There were only 18 of us this year, as my son and his fiancee were sick, and my daughter Meghan, her husband, and son, were in Chicago entertaining Marks parents.  Also my mother was spending time with one of my brothers and his family this year.  Mother says she has to spread herself around or one of her six sons is libel to get jealous.

We had a great meal. with everyone making their specialty for the day.  We had turkey, green rice, mashed potatoes, potato casserole, green bean casserole, cranberry/fruit jello, rolls, salad, sweet potato casserole, and home made pumpkin pie and whipped cream!  It was delicious, but Poppa don’t get any leftovers when its at one of the daughters houses.  I like it just as much the next day, as the firs; almost.

I had all my granddaughters there with McKenzie, Nadia, (at my feet) Nina, Addisyn, Ava, and my wife Lorna all squeezing on the couch.  They range in age from 2-1/2 to 12 years old.  With having 5 daughters my own self, I’m kind of partial to those little sweethearts.  One of these days I’ll get a good photo of my five grandsons, if I can get em to hold still long enough!
