Thanksgiving dinner

We actually ate our Thanksgiving dinner on Friday instead of Thursday. It was my mom's entire extended family (with the exception of three of my cousins who spent the holiday with other parents). That made 68 people in all! It was a lot of people, a lot of food and a lot of fun. My brother Jeff spent a few hours on the phone listening to a class he is taking to pass a financial test.
Julia, once again the cousin with all the "good ideas" got everybody involved in an extensive leaf game that evolved through the hour. At first it was gathering armfuls and throwing them up. Then it turned into building a mound of leaves. Last, cousins all took turns being buried in the leaves.
A lot of cousins came inside from these fabulous games with runny noses and itchy rashes. But at least they had fun :)
More arrivals at the club house in my Grandma and Grandpa's HOA.

And everyone had little leaf pieces in their hair that refused to come out! But it was fun for them!
