It's an odd numbered year...

On the odd numbered years my grandmother, her two sisters and all of their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren celebrate Thanksgiving together.  We have been doing this for over 2 decades and this year topped all the previous gatherings.
Cousin Amanda put it best saying, "you would have to see it to believe it."
This year we had 76 family members present.
There was food, card games, board games, four square games, softball games, food, football watching, catching up on the events of the last few years and food.
 
Uncle Larry, Dave and Joshua enjoy lunch together.

An intense game of Sequence

Abigail and best friend Whitney making bracelets

sweet cousins

sometimes you feel like you may be going a little crazy...

and you're glad you aren't the only one who feels that way.

old faithful...the house

the littles god in on the four square action

Lottie requested a turn too


It is amazing how 4 days, 3 nights, 30 year old bunk beds, and limited bathroom space with 76 relatives doesn't seem bad when you realize how blessed we are to have such a great family.
