Thanksgiving Day!

I love my family!!

Thanksgiving

 For Thanksgiving we went to my Uncle Bill's house to celebrate with extended family.  We have been doing that for several years.  Ever since my Grandmother began living in an assisted living facility.  We have such a great time getting together with family once a year!  Family is so important to my Uncle!  Just as important as it is to me!!

Just before heading to Uncle Bill's house, we stopped by to see my Grandma (Dad's mom) for a bit.  My aunt, uncle and part of their family were there. My Grandma has Alzheimer's and was having a hard time staying awake while we were there.

Whoops, forgot one . . . .

For Thanksgiving, we took our annual trip down to my Uncle's house in Moneta Virginia. There was great food, great fun, and great family time! The Parker's (Stacey's mother's family) definately know how to have a good time!! As always, so great seeing everyone!! Love you all!

Merry Christmas!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

"Life is too short and you never know how many more times we will be able to get together like this. We need to get together every time we can." This is what my Uncle Bill said just before saying grace prior to our Thanksgiving feast this afternoon. My Uncle Bill is one of the greatest guys I know. His sense of family is so strong and it tends to rub off on all of us. My immediate and extended family have always been one of the most important things to me. Now that my children share in this family, it is even more important to me that we get together every time we can.

Today was such a great time! My Uncle Bill (my mom's younger brother) and Aunt Vida hosted Thanksgiving at their house this year. My Grandmother, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins were all in attendance. We spent the afternoon visiting with one another, laughing and joking. It was great! We even made plans for a get together this summer so holidays are not our only time to see each other. Unfortunately we missed Mike, Michelle, Shane and Paul--a police officer, undertaker and an ER tech that were not able to take the day off and Paul who spent this holiday with Allison's family. We missed you all. Hope everyone had a super Thanksgiving!!
