This past weekend, we had the whole gang here. We celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday, and then on Saturday morning, we celebrated our Christmas!

We were so blessed to have all of them show up on Wednesday! Sometimes, our oldest son, second oldest, can't get Wednesday or Friday off, but he did this year! Yea, for all of us!!

The weather was cold, but no snow or moisture. In fact, it got warm enough for the kids to go to the church playground to play for a couple of hours.

Our turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes (baked, but no marshmallows on top), green bean casserole (with homemade cream of...) broccoli salad, fresh cranberry salad, rolls from Montana Mike's, were all wonderful! There are hardly any leftovers!

I think we all ate so much, we didn't even go to the Wal-Mart blowout on Friday!

Our Christmas was fun. All of us got way too much. The best part of our holiday, is just being together with the family.

We did look like a 'geek' family, though. We all had our computers, and the kids had their smart phones. (See my previous post to see how I feel about all the gadgets!)

We praise our Lord for our family. They all are doing well. No sickness. No drama, just a fun time had by all!
