Thanksgiving early

Sunday we celebrated Thanksgiving with my side of the family. There was 40 some relatives that came. That's all of us but 2. It was so fun to have so many family come. We had a great day.
My oldest sister Jane and her husband Paul hosted the event. They have the perfect room for it a very long sun room. But I told my sister she better add on cause we just fit in that room this time. Janie always does a wonderful job of making us all feel at home and providing us with a great meal. It's always a party at Janie's house. We started the day off with having to only watch the Steelers since the Eagles weren't on t.v. Turned out though that the Steelers game was the only game worth watching anyway. But that's the other story I posted earlier. I didn't do very good with taking pictures I brought my camera but forgot to take pictures early on. But here the kids are having a rousing game of Monopoly. Oh these kids love to make money. Going to have to keep my eye on that. =) A fun time was had by all. I love being with my family every one of them.

Hey Carol!

Man, I love reading your blog. You write the way you talk -- I love it -- reading your blog is as almost as good as talking to you in person...your humor and smile definitely shine through your written words!

The pic you posted with the kids playing Monopoly...I can't believe how grown up Bri looks -- wow!!! -- that girl better slow down! Ha Ha

Hey, have you been getting my emails? I emailed you a few days ago asking you a question and wanting to know when we could get together, but I haven't heard from you. Just wanted to make sure we weren't having email problems again.

Love you mucho muchacha!
Lori

P.S. I've been praying for Edwin.

There is nothing like getting together with family. It was my turn on Sunday to have the Erb Thanksgiving at my house - 43 came. A little crowded but we had a wonderful time. Both of us have such a godly heritage - something I am very thankful for. Im sure you are too.
Happy Thanksgiving my friend.
Big hug little hug

What a great Thanksgiving!!! WOW!

And who doesn't love the money? Isn't that a shame? But if those kids can actually stick out an entire game of Monopoly, well...they're better than me! Could there be a LOOOOONGER game?

We're moving on Saturday, so my computer will be shut down for awhile. I'll miss catching up on your blog and hearing from you!

Happy Thanksgiving!
