A perfect Thanksgiving day...

This year we were able to spend Thanksgiving with my mom, both my sisters and their families. This is extremely rare as we're usually not able to find the time to all be together...kids included. My sister's and I try really hard to schedule time together at least twice a year.
It was a beautiful day...sun shining and slightly warm weather. We were quite concerned with the noise level in a tiny space. You see, we met at my older sister's apartment (she hates when I say she's older :)in Goldsboro...all 25 of us!
Let's see, there was my mom, my family (total of 5), Karen's family (her boyfriend, Randy, and two sons, Phillip and Andrew, along with Phillip's girlfriend, Jessie), my younger sister, Kristi, and her family of 14 (her husband, Steve, their 10 children, along with their oldest daughter, Kati's husband, Matt, and their 4-week old son, Johnathan. Talk about crazy...
But it was perfect. We cooked, laughed, reminisced, ate, of course, and enjoyed watching all the kids have a great time together!
I'm already looking forward to next year.
All the cousins...

With our newest niece, Natalie...
